I mentioned in a previous post that I was prescribed Cymbalta, primarily for anxiety, but the medication also helps with neuropathy. Over the past six months, Cymbalta has helped as the number of neuropathy attacks have decreased in frequency. However, it does not eliminate them altogether.
Yesterday, I had an attack on my right foot. It was more a buzzing numbness rather than pain. The weird thing was that the attack was on my lower leg instead of my foot. I have never experienced any neuropathy that high up, and I am worried this is a new trend. This morning around 2:00 am, I woke up to a new attack on my left big toe. This one hurts a lot and is about an 8/10 on the pain scale.
I took two Tylenol PM pills and so far, it has done nothing for pain or sleep.

Ouch. The neuropathy attack in my left foot has gotten worse. I was unable to sleep after I made this post so now I am really tired and in a lot of pain.
