Hello @3740, You haven't mentioned Physical or Occupational Therapy -- have you been referred? Both have been indescribably valuable to me, helping me find solutions to care for myself, alleviate some of the pain, and find hope for being able to control bettering my physical wellbeing in order to stay independent. I definitely struggle with fatigue and energy issues, but the ability to live in my own home is worth any inconvenience of the use of a cane or walker. Please continue to ask, seek, and try the options that are available to help you to overcome the disabling effects of your neuropathy.
