Is loss of balance your primary complaint with neuropathy?

@scain - How true. The support groups are very helpful many of which conduct meetings via zoom. The Foundation does suggest many and you can participate in one even though you may not be in the same state and be hundreds of miles away. Some have zoom meetings in evenings and weekends.

Thanks for the reminder. When I decided to move back to the mainland from Hawaii, I was determined to
find what I call social “islands”. These were small groups of folks with similar talents and/or interests. For example, I attend an exercise Zoom island on Tuesday mornings. The leader lives in Montana. Then, on Wednesday evening, about seven ladies get together on Zoom for a weekly study and practice of mindfulness.
On the first Friday of each month at least 8-10 folks join Jay and me at our home for a group dinner and review of current physical behaviors including neuropathy. In the spring we plan an afternoons of entertainment on a lake boat. The relaxing air and boat ride are quite helpful.
Quite a few of us attend summer weekend retreats and small groups of three or four have what we call Trio Chats.
With different activities, entertainment and weather we find new ways to forget neuropathy for a few hours.
Just saw a chipmunk come up on the front porch to look for spring treats. It is sunny and warm. I am going to take my neuropathy outside for an introduction to Spring.
