I will start by apologizing that I don't have any answers or even any options for alleviating any of the problems associated with peripheral neuropathy but I will say that I have learned more about my balance and associated lack of feelings on the soles of my feet, etc., etc. here then I have in any doctor's offices. I do recommend a website found here "The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy" where you can enter your state and find a list of doctors that specialize in this problem. Unfortunately most of the doctors listed are in Boston which is about a 30 min. drive for me. More than the distance, I worry about icy walkways, etc. My husband still works full time and currently has his own health issues (attending cardio rehab) that means he attends 2 hour sessions 3 times a week so that he is already taking time off from work. I am hesitant in asking him to take me to see one of these doctors. However, just reading more information on this site told me that diabetes is one of the leading cause for peripheral neuropathy. Being dismissed when at a doctor's office is so demeaning and just a waste of time, I almost want to cancel my appointment with a local neurologist (the appointment that I have waited 6 mos. to see) but I will go and understand if they have no helpful information about PN. At least now I know that yes it is a "thing" and although nor well understood in the medical field, I am not alone in having these problems. I worry about ending up in a wheelchair and living in our house that is not suited for that. I have begun the journey and I will continue to read and post here so that anything that I find out about might be helpful to all of you. I will say again..."do not go quietly into the night" and understand that you are no alone and what is going on with our feet and legs is not in our heads!!! Thank you all again.
