Gabapentin makes me drowsy/dizzy so you need to be extra careful not to fall when taking it.

Neuropathy can cause many symptoms, including weakness, numbness, etc. It disrupts brain communications to your body and muscles/skin which can make movement more difficult. Diabetes affects your heart/circulation of blood and oxygen which can also make you weak.

Thank you. I'm also looking for experiences by people who have weakening legs to compare with. I find on my house stairs that my going up and down is one stair at A time now. Six months ago no problem showed. It is not my heart condition
I exercise legs in particular daily and feel weaker on stairs. Thinking of moving to a ranch.
Don't want to blame aging for all things muscular I'm feeling. Hopefully no wheelchairs in near future!
