The spinal bifida causes leg weakness on top of the neuropathy. I have lost feeling from knees to my feet. I wear compression hose because I have problems with lymphedema and the swelling from the neuropathy. As far as my spinal stenosis it’s severe with bone spurs. I have had neck and lower back surgeries. I have tremors from the motor neuropathy so the flight attendant fills my glass half full so I don’t spill it. I also travel with a cup with a lid. I put my bottled water in it so I don’t spill it down the front of me. I carry sandwiches and hand foods to eat on plane. There’s times I can’t hold silverware from the tremors. Sit the timer for your pain meds or Tylenol. I set my alarm every four hours
