I was out on 1,800 mg of gabapentin for nerve pain. I tried it for awhile but the headaches associated with it were to much. I tapered off of it with the help of my doctor and quit the gabapentin.

Members connected over the question of why nerve pain tends to feel worse at night, with the general consensus being that the body is more relaxed and less distracted by activity. Several members shared helpful tips for managing nighttime nerve pain, including leaving feet uncovered, pointing a fan at the feet, and using air conditioning to keep cool. A recurring theme was that heat makes nerve pain worse, and staying cool at night brings real relief.

We have excessive heat and pop up storms. Some severe at times. I'm happy I have good AC. That makes me feel bad for ppl that don't have adequate heat, or air. The AC helps calm my nerve pains some. Especially when I'm trying to sleep.

@A DiabetesTeam Member hello I hope that the hot weather is going to be better soon as I believe it’s been dreadful right across the Northern Hemisphere causing bush fires everywhere in Canada and parts of Europe. I believe that the East Coast of England has had heavy rain and thunderstorms which should cool down the atmosphere there for the first time in months. The homes there are constructed for the cold weather and are fully insulated and they get very hot in summer and most people don’t have air conditioners in their homes! I live in Subtropical Australia and I can’t imagine being without air conditioning in Summer and for winter warmth! Hugs from Judyxx
