medicaiton question

I was given pep for 28 days isentress and truvada side effects were pin sensations all over my body and the muscles in my legs dissolved. almost a year later I have hypersensitive feet pins and needle feeling in my feet and lower legs and pain in my toes as well pain in my legs. I thought when you stop this medication these symptoms go away how long can they stay because I feel like they are getting worse and not better. doctors now want to give me gabbaton and have not even did any test to see what's really wrong with me.

where should I ask this question im asking because these symptoms started shortly after taking these pills. the doctors thought it was diabetes that I don't have not they are testing my thyroid today. they said if it was from the meds it should have stopped already but its getting worse I have to admit it was not this bad till I started taking a supplement called tangy tangerine by a company called youngevity.

to answer your question I helped a fallen person in the snow and didn't see blood on my hand and rubbed my eye because my eye was tearing in the cold that was my exposure.

Why were you advised to take post exposure prophylactics?
What was your exposure?
Having said that....this is not the venue to inquire about nPep side effects. If you are in treatment you should consult with the physician that prescribed it .
