I'm not sure yet. I have Peripheral Neuropathy but I have never taken any tests. I have had neuropathy for the last three-four years, and during that time the attacks have been slowly growing in intensity. I am a married 87 year old woman and in good physical shape outside of the neuropahthy and scoliosis. I have an adult three-wheeler bike that I ride for an hour 3-4 days a week. A retired librarian, I live with a 90 year old husband and a cuddly cat. (The husband isn't so cuddly anymore.) I still play golf once a week and read books every day. I volunteer at our local library which keeps me well supplied with reading materials. I have a busy and comfortable life. What I don't have is much information about neuropathy and how to manage the pain. That's why I have joined this discussion group. Already it feels good to know I am connected with folks who share my concerns. Always nice to know one is not alone.
