I also have RLS and was on Lyrica but it stopped working. Then the neuropathy in feet started. Now I take gabapentin 600mg 3xday plus 800mg at bedtime. Does not work. My feet hurt so bad plus it sometimes seems to be creeping up my legs. Any suggestions anyone??

I have experimented with keeping my hands and warm when I get that painful feeling. I have found that putting on socks even in the bed takes away the pain.

I take CBD oil and have gotten off all of my pain meds. I would highly recommend it.

I began taking two supplements from a wellness online shopping site. I first was trying to stop arthrithic joint and muscle aches which ruled my days. After only two days I was felling much better and started to have more stamina and after a week was waking in the morning pain free. It now occurs to me that I haven't had any neuropathy episodes either.

I am type 2 and not yet on insulin. I take metformin and jardiance daily.

I myself take lyric 100 mg three times a day and it works wonders for me. If I miss it or run out... I sure can tell when I don’t take it. At times I can’t stand for the sheet to touch my feet.
