I'm not diabetic although do have pre Diabetes - have tried gabapentin and Lyrica but the side effects outweigh any benefits. I take alpha lipoic acid instead plus pain lotions, sprays, which help sometimes. I've gotten to the point where I'm afraid to go to bed because that's when it starts up. Thanks for your input.

If you have diabetes then better blood sugar levels, that pregablin or other nerve meds make me completely brain dead. I found swimming helped some , less gravity or just pressure on my legs. Sleeping with my feet and legs slightly elevated helps me sleep a bit better.
Good luck with everything.
