I was diagnosed with dm 2 about two years back. Iam on amaryl-m1 bd & has hba1c of 7. I started feeling extra sensation under the feet, heaviness in foot, leg, thighs from about a month or two, some pain in hip area and finally difficulty in lifting one leg about 2 weeks days back along with knee weakness in one leg although other leg has been affected to a lesser extent till date. I never experienced very sharp pain & 2 weeks back had mild pain in my buttocks for about a week. The loss of movement in the 2 directions direction in the leg & knee weakness was quite quick about 10-12 days back. Now I do not feel any pain but had some falls primarily on account of knee weakness or weakness in right leg. Mri scan, ct scan were ok but problem was reported in nerve conduction test in both legs but mainly in right leg. Was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy or diabetic amyotrophy which correlates with my overall symptoms. Doctor put me on 8 day course of prednisone (40mg-10mg) with insulin. My sugar with amaryl m1 as on now is under control & I take light food with reasonable physical activity & sugar levels now seems to be ok 92 fasting /140 pp. Also started visiting a physiotherapist from today. As of know there is appears to be some improvements in my walking (can walk 15-20 min at a stretch inside home) though weakness in one leg & knee persist. I cannot drive due to difficulty in movement of my right leg when trying to move it sideways while sitting. It is also not possible to lift the right leg against gravity when laying down though backward lifting & movement on sideways when lying on one side are intact. Have been prescribed pregaba m 75 (hs, neurkind+. Have no pain of any type. My questions 1) has peripheral neuropathy reached a plateau ie. Stopped or not 2) is pregabalin needed in my case as I have no pain, i. E. Whether it play a role in nerve regeneration or is overall beneficial in such situation 3) can I expect improvement in my right leg in 1-2 months time with sugar control & exercises.

1. Peripheral neuropathy is a on going process even in normal individuvals as age advances due to deficiency of vitamins mainly b12
2. In your case pregabalin is needed for some time 3. Nerve regeneration is impossible for anyone 4. Definitely you can expect improvement in the right leg in 1-2 months with good control of sugar & exercises.

Meet a physician and rule out any physical causes for your symptoms. Then you consult a clinical psychologist and get yourself evaluated. Once that is done, they would guide you to be more active and manage these symptoms. If its not working, they would guide you to the next step.
All the best.

Dear Maher,
It is good that you got rid of your crazy thoughts with risperidone. Please continue it at the prescribed dose. You can also discuss your bad feelings and libido with your doctor. Either he may reduce deroxat/risperidone or change them to other tablets or add another drug to improve libido. Please wait till you consult the doctor and don't do it on your own.

Dear lybrate-user,
Yes, with Dicorate e r 1 gm and qutipin s r 100 itself, it will settle down. Please consult your doctor about increase of dose. Dicorate will be 20 mg/lg body weight. Qutipin according to your symptom control and sedation. Since I don't know your weight and the type of work you do as a nurse, only your doctor can make change of dose, if necessary.

You are on good medication but your problem is that you have not combined it with therapy. In therapy you will learn a lot of skills, tools and techniques to help you cope with your condition. Since you are so young, there is a very good likelihood of there being either genetic causes or some very early childhood influences. If you cooperate you can change very well. But medicine by itself is not enough. The earlier the detection and intervention, the better the results. Don't delay or waste thi...more

Hi Lybrate-user,
The best medicine is self motivation. Maintain a healthy life style. Have proper diet and sleep. Fix a wake up time and sleep time. Do yoga/exercise/jogging in the morning. Involved in your hobbies. Don't be over thinker. Try to enjoy the present moment, communicate with your friends. Family go for outing. And best way do a swot analysis of your self. Talk to a counsellor.
