John, how have you managed with your idiopathic neuropathy with only numbness? How has it progressed over time. How long have you experienced this condition?

I've been dealing with it since my late 40s to early 50s. I will be 82 next month. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

While the supplements I started taking in 2016 haven't cured my numbness, I do believe they have slowed and possibly stopped the progression as it hasn't gotten any worse but I also haven't had any additional testing done to confirm my feelings. I also put lotion on my legs and feet most nights to help keep the skin hydrated. I mostly use LifeFlo magnesium lotion as it seems to have a calming affect.
