@gus0557 - Gus, you made some very strong and valid points. I guess my looking back scenario was to stop looking for a cause and like you, I do what I can today, tomorrow could be different. PN impacts us differently, for me, numbness, poor balance and fortunately, no pain. However, the balance is 3 times worse as it was 5 years ago. I am fortunate to have several adult children all in their 40's and they help me when and where they can. But, in my case, there really isn't much they can do with everyday living. Like you, we are sort of on our own and need to adjust how we do things as PN progresses. My primary goal is to be safe, and I take many precautions. Best to you. Ed

Hi Ed,
Thank you for your reply.
I am a little over a year with neuropathy since initial onset and with the tingling and numbness, I have crossed into the pain and loss of balance territories. The pain in the sole of my feet gets to the point where I cannot step on them. And I am not only dealing with my condition but with many other things including othere medical issues where I find myself now not even caring about whatever happens. Whatever is meant to happen shall happen. You can call me a fatalist. There is so much a person can handle on their own.
I wish you the best always and I thank GOD for putting this group on my path to have a sounding board at least.
Take care and thanks for being in touch.
Have a serene rest of your week
