I also have gotten little help from my neurologist. When I asked what tips she could give to make my life better, she answered - hydrate! This cite has given me more help, encouragement, and information than anyone else. I do have some questions. I have had pn for over a year and half. 4months ago, my legs suddenly felt very week. Does pn most often get worse? If so, will the pt I'm getting right now, actually help? I'm having trouble accepting this, any suggestions? Thanks, everybody!

I have good days and bad days. On days I feel weak, I beat my brains trying to think about what in my diet or activities might have contributed. Sometimes it’s just overuse or fatigue with me. Sometimes I decide to take a potassium vitamin thinking maybe that will help. I do a little extra leg stretching while I’m sitting down. But I honestly haven’t cracked it - I find it runs its course and I have my good days back again.

@kathieb48 From what I have researched and read it is so different for each individual and how they are medicating and exercising/moving. Stick with it! Don't give up! Your legs may feel weak today but, keep moving. My legs felt bad today and I decided to go for a fast walk. My legs hurt but didn't get worse as I walked. I worked my way through it and I made it 2 miles. Tonight I feel so much better! Stick with the pt, It is good for you! Good luck! I care!
