Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi, Sheila!! I have had those symptoms before. It comes back each time my sugars are out of control. Even though many side effects will not go away all together, when we are in control the pain lessons and it is more tolerable. Hope that works with you. Now some people aren't as lucky as I am, and the tingling and misery stick with them. Your doctor can help you with this.

Welcome to the forum, Sheila. I have found a lot of good here. Post often with questions, answers and encouragement for us that need it. There is also a lot of fun on the Chat thread. HOpe you enjoy it as much as I have. (Maybe a little less--I find it addicting. I just got to check first thing in the morning. Then if I check before I go to bed at night, I'm awake half the night. )
