I am 84 and was diagnosed with neuropathy about year ago. When I ask the neurologist what I should be doing, or not doing he says nothing.

Hello @jrcarter, Welcome to Connect. Not sure why your neurologist didn't make any suggestions. There isn't a cure and if a person lives long enough there is a good chance they will get neuropathy according to an 80+ year old neurologist I listened to 5 or 6 years ago giving a talk about neuropathy. If you like to read, there are actually a lot of different things you can do to live a little better when you have neuropathy. Here's some information on the topic from the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Are you able to share what your biggest challenge is with your symptoms from your neuropathy diagnosis?
