Hang on you two.....@ebero and @smiddy73.....I want to try out for your team. Heaven knows I qualify. It's been 11 years since I was diagnosed with SFN (small fiber neuropathy. My feet are also cold almost all the time. When my life partner feels them, he says they are warm to him. At first, I thought he was teasing and then my MFR therapist told me the same thing. She works on my feet twice a week to keep the numbness under control in case I have to drive. She also notices when my toes are purple. Do yours change color? I just checked and the right one is very purple and colder than my left foot.

I don't play bridge but I do play mahjongg. Since I also have MCI (mild cognitive impairment). I could never learn bridge. My mahjongg partners very kindly help me. So sometimes I just give up and let them win as a reward.

At this point in my life, I am focusing on "Quality of life" choices meaning that I will work hard to gain some tolerance for these symptoms. However, I have a wonderful partnership with my PCP who I met right after my SFN diagnosis. We are good examples of shared decision-making. Just this week she reviewed my medications and realized that my urinary incontinence medication was not a generic and the price was elevating. So she did the research and found a substitute covered by my insurance. I'll take that kind of interest and commitment any day.

May you both have peace and ease in your lives.
