Hello @lucylaughs, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @dlydailyhope and others. You are not alone being overwhelmed and trying to figure out what you can be done to help your condition, especially when you have multiple things going on at the same time. The best suggestion I can offer is to learn as much as you can about your condition and what treatments may be available that provide some form of relief. There is a wealth of first hand patient experience here on Connect and many different discussions in the Neuropathy group. There is another discussion on the same topic that you might want to read what others have shared:
-- SFSN: Symptom Relief: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sfsn-symptom-relief/

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some great webinars on YouTube on sensory neuropathy and other topics. Here's a list on their YouTube channel when searching for "sensory neuropathy" - https://www.youtube.com/@foundationforperipheralneu4122/search?query=sensory%20neuropathy.

I too have always been overweight most of my adult life and only started making progress in changing some of my habits and losing some weight since joining Connect back in 2016. It has made a tremendous difference for my overall health, including my high blood pressure, lymphedema and hopefully it's helping with slow the progression with my neuropathy. I shared my weight journey in another discussion - Low-carb healthy fat living. Intermittent fasting. What’s your why? here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/336050/.

I know it's not easy to come up with some questions to ask at your upcoming meeting with a neuromuscular health psychologist. Do you normally take notes with you to appointment so that you don't forget to ask questions for something you are concerned about?
