Hace algunos meses publiqué en este foro sobre los graves efectos secundarios que sufrí al probar dos nuevos regímenes en el transcurso de un año: un año infernal. Le dije que los efectos secundarios eran insomnio severo y picazón, y que eran tan malos que finalmente tuve que volver a mi régimen anterior a pesar de que no era el mejor régimen para mis riñones. Sin embargo, aunque el insomnio y la picazón ya no son todas las noches para mí, TODAVÍA los sufro de vez en cuando, tal vez una vez a la… leer más
Some months ago I posted on this forum about the serious side-effects I suffered while trying two new regimens over the course of a year - a year of hell. I said that the side-effects were severe insomnia and itchiness, and that these were so bad that I eventually had to return to my previous regimen despite it not being the best regimen for my kidneys. However, while insomnia and itchiness is no longer nightly for me, I STILL suffer from both now and then, perhaps once a week. Last night, for… read more
Utilizo gabapentina para la neuropatía. También uso gel de ibuprofeno en las nalgas y los muslos. Estos son los dos lugares que me mantienen despierto por la noche.
I use Gabapentin for neuropathy. I also use ibuprofen gel on my bottom and thighs. These are the two places which keep me awake at night.
I'm so sorry you're experiencing these symptoms. Let me first say that Peripheral Neuropathy is different for everyone. Please talk to your doctor. I've taken Gabapentin for years to help all over my body. I've also added a capsule of Turmeric (it's a spice) shown to reduce inflammation - it also helped me to reduce pain. Before I go to bed at night I rub a Lidocaine and Prilocaine cream on the bottom of my feet to help with stabbing overnight. (I've watched the nerves in my legs dance for years.) The creams may be less interactive with other meds and good for your kidneys. Again, please talk with your doctor. Don't expect overnight changes - some of these take a month to feel relief - stay the course and be patient.
Suffered with peripheral neuropathy especially when on Zerit. It continued years after I stopped taking it. I was on it from 96 to 2000. It was so bad that I was on ever increasing pain medication. Finally stopped all pain medication in 2/2014. I still have nerve related muscle spasms. I take Flexerile PRN.
@Un miembro de myHIVteam - the info from @Un miembro de myHIVteam and @Un miembro de myHIVteam is good stuff! My partner has both restless leg syndrome and neuropathy. He uses ropinerole for RLS and gabapentin for neuropathy. Gabapentin works well. Topical agents that numb (Itch X) and reduce inflammation (cortisone) can help if you have a consistent place that bothers you. Lastly, the ITCH makes me wonder if a good dose of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) might help. It is also an OTC sleep aid, so "two birds, one stone." Good Luck 🍀. I know it can be miserable.
PS: Tylenol can sometimes work wonders. It is under rated.
