Hello @mrgirl, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that you have joined the neuropathy club. I also have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but don't have any pain, just some numbness. I have had leg cramps that sometimes come with a little pain but it's mostly if I haven't stayed hydrated and drinking more water helped me. I imagine I would need a lot more water if I was working out in hot springs.
For neuropathy symptoms in general, the best thing you can do to help yourself is to learn as much as you can about your condition and what treatments are available that may provide some form of relief. Lots of experience here on Connect. There are many different discussions in the Neuropathy Support Group that you might find helpful - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuropathy/.
What symptoms do you have with your neuropathy?
