Diagnosed With Peripheral Neuropathy, Take Lyrica. Having Numbness In Feet, Not Diabetic. Cause?
I am a Vietnam vet and served in a high Agent Orange zone. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, take Lyrica, but it seems my feet are getting number than they have been. I first noticed the numbness 15 years ago. I also was recently turned down by the VA for Agent Orange benefits. Why can't my numbness go away? I am not diabetic

hi.. thanks for using HCM..
you have been treated with pregabilin for the peripheral neuropathy..
but not reduced in symptoms..
have you undergone any investigation for detecting the cause for PN..
are you a alcoholic/use tobacco/any chronic drug intake..
try with vit B12 supplementation, vit B6 supplementation..
see your neurologist if it doesnot help..
all the very best..
