Idiopathic Polyneuropathy: Do you have fatigue?

I too have fatigue with my SFPN. My feet swell and feel like I’m walking on marbles. Legs feel heavy and don’t pick up my feet as I should due to muscle weakness, I believe. As a result, I have tripped and fallen a few times which has been scary. I also have shortness of breath which I attribute to CFS due to having Covid for the first time in Dec. 2023. I’m 81 and will start doing feet/leg exercises faithfully to hopefully prevent falls.

I’m so sorry. I’ve fallen 5 times in the last 2 years and it is indeed frightening. I ended up in the ER with a head injury -2 black eyes, and 2 sprained ankles. Very traumatic . We installed grab bars throughout the house after that. I’m 73. I hope your CFS improves . I’ve had it for 40 years but have personally known a number of people who fully recovered after 2-3 years. Best wishes!
