It started along time ago just a little numbness in my toes and then my fingers, maybe around 2018. I am 79 years old. I don’t ever remember my parents mentioning it or dealing with these problems. Don’t mean they didn’t have it, they were tough people back then, never complained about anything.
Right now I am having a lot of pain and numbness going up to my knees and from my fingers to my elbows.
The pain is sickening and I take Hydrocodone (3 /day) and Gabapentin (1200 mg/day).
This medicine only gives me some relief, not for very long.
I paid for the genetic testing myself.
I guess the future is to try and deal with it the best I can. Good shoes for balance, and be very careful while walking around. If I could get rid of this sick feeling I have, I believe I can handle the numbness somewhat.
I hope this helps.
