Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Yes, I’m barely surviving PN which I’ve had over 10 years. I took Gabapentin for years, with absolutely no relief; however, no relief from the incessant numbness either. I suppose I’m one of the “lucky” ones, since my only symptom was numbness. Yesterday was a particularly bad day. My numbness actually spread to the calf and foot of my other leg.
So, I suppose my whole purpose of this post is to solicit responses from other sufferers of PN who have ONLY numbness with no pain. This numbness definitely affects my mobility as well as balance, which wasn’t great to begin with. At my age (74), as I’m sure it is with others, stability is crucial.

@wascaly, I'm one of the numbness only neuropathy members also but I do have some tingling but no real pain. Balance is probably my number 1 issue and I try to keep moving and do a few of the balance exercises I was learned in several PT sessions. There are some discussions on neuropathy with numbness only that you might find helpful.
