Anybody here dealing with diabetic peripheral Neuropathy [View all]

I've been a semi-lurker here since the orange puke rode down his magic escalator. I've had neuropathy for several years, but in the last ten days it's suddenly kicked into overdrive. I've just now consulted my doctor who prescribed Gabapentin. I'm not thrilled with starting on that but over the years, I've gotten used to sleeping. M My daughter moved back here in late January, broke up with her SO of 7 years or maybe he broke up with her. She then quit her high stress job due to total burn out. She has suffered with depression since she was 11. She's now 39. I've been under considerable stress because I'm worried about her. I also had the rest of my teeth pulled and went through dental implant hell this year so I've been under physical stress as well. The joy I felt yesterday at finally getting my snap-in lower denture has been tempered somewhat by the increased neuropathy pain. I feel like I can't catch a break this year. I feel increasingly despondent. How do you cope? How do you deal with neuropathy? Any better options than Gabepentin?
