Lantus and neuropathy

I was on lantus a year and a half ago and had no problems and in fact after 3 months was able to go back to regular diabetic pills.

A couple of months ago I went on lantus because my sugar was out of control again(turns out I had osteo mylitis in my toe--under a docs care as well for my wound)--I had surgery and continued with insulin, and then on 20 units of lantus--my neuropathy was excaberated by the Lantus--every joint that had the neuropathy --toes ankles fingers wrists and even my lower back increased a thousandfold. The burning was so intense(causing nausea and exhaustion) and it was put down to an increase pain of arthritis, but I never had been diagnosed with it this severe and this intense-- I was rocking in pain when my nurse was here--at first it didn't add up until I forgot to take my Lantus for a few days and the pain finally dissipated to my *regular* neuropathic pain. I too feel better since stopping the Lantus.

-shooting pain in legs, feet, and toes before i go to sleep causing me to not be able to go to sleep
-shooting pain in lower back, stomach, breasts
-stomach swelling... feel bloated
let me know if any of you get these symptoms if you are on lantus.

I have also noticed blurred vision, bloating, stomach cramps and severe muscle aches since I have once again been on Lantus. I have rheumatoid arthritis as well as diabetes, but had been off of Lantus for a while because my insurance's copays were too high. At that time, other then my blood sugar staying in the 300's, I felt so much better. My neuropathy is bad when the blood sugar rises, but since back on Lantus, I feel horrible.
