Could an elevated triglyceride level cause numbness and pain in the feet due to circulatory problems? Or would a cervical spine injury I have had for years be a more likely cause of numbness in my feet? I have been to my doctor, but she put me on antidepressants and gapabentin and it really did nothing. Recently I lost my health insurance and was unable to refill my prozac and gapabentin scripts. So far, I haven't noticed any difference in my feet or my mood. My feet are still numb and painful and at times it's hard to just get up and do daily chores. It's getting to me. I have lost close to fifty pounds in the last 6 or 7 months thinking that it would maybe help my feet, but they continue to get worse. What started out as 3 toes on my right foot, has turned into numbness in both my feet all the way to the ankle. Any advise?

High Triglyceride Level and Fasting? During my recent physical, my triglycerides came back at 1480, dangerously high. However, the people at this office did NOT tell me to fast before the test. The night before, my wife and I celebrated her birthday by basically pigging out on fatty foods (steak for dinner; cake for dessert; 2 glasses of wine each). I also had a glass of OJ that morning before the test, as well as a couple bites of the birthday cake (a crappy breakfast, I know). My blood sugar was elevated as well, which I'm pretty sure was due to the sugary stuff I had with no fast. Would that admittedly crappy diet have an effect on my triglyceride levels? I'm thinking about switching doctors because I didn't even know my triglycerides were that high until I requested my medical records. He didn't tell me about the results of the triglycerides, only the blood sugar level. His response, coupled with the ineffectiveness of the office in not telling me to fast, has not inspired me with confidence. Time to switch?
