I have the Same exact thing happening to me at this time! I was in a car accident 10 months ago and have been poked and prodded with anything and everything. I was hospitalized three times, been told various diseases and was diagnosed with whiplash. I thought it was right until I had another episode yesterday and today. I was on Lyrica and now on Neurotin. I just would like to know what is exactly wrong and how to help.

A neurologist at UCLA told me there are 2 kinds of tests for diebetes. One is what everyone normally gets which can miss a case of diebetes then there is another kind of a blood test which I am going for next week. It is where you fast, do a blood test, in an hour drink a big glass of apple juice then another test. After another hour another glass of apple juice and a blood test. The Dr says this test can show a case of diebetes where the other normal blood tests show you do not have diebetes. I hope I have diebetes because I am in the advanced stages of neuropathy in my feet and basically am crippled, in a wheel chair and cannot work any more. good luck, Warren
