Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

Hi, @arcuri24 -
Just a word of caution concerning the cream. Years ago, my podiatrist prescribed a cream for the pain on the bottom of my feet (way before I was diagnosed with PN) and it was quite effective. BUT it made my feet so slippery when I stepped into my shower, that I literally couldn't use it. It was as if I was stepping into a petroleum jelly-covered floor, even though the cream didn't seem to have an oil type base. Evidently water causes some creams to become excessively slippery. Take care!

I agree. This cream would be applied at the doctor's office and it would be under medical supervision to ensure that the cream is absorbed and that there is no adverse reaction to it. I am also diligent about practicing--on a daily basis--balance exercises, and, fortunately, this PN has had little effect on my posture or balancing ability. Still, I am cautious going in and out of the shower. I have a duplex condo so I must take care with navigating stairs--a good source of cardio for me. Thanks for the advice!
