@donhills2113 I’m not as stringent as you suggest but I eat quite healthy usually have spinach and avacodo and nuts around. But that doesn’t explain what happened. I have some neuropathy in my feet and legs and do take some gabapentin so I can live with that. I’m hoping the EMG helps get a diagnosis! Thanks for your comments. scared002

@scared002 I'm 71 and have had neuropathy since a cancer diagnosis over a decade ago. Gabapentin left me disoriented and I had a fender-bender, which I interpreted as a sign to get off of it. Vitamin B12 really helped. Though I'm not as stringent as Don, an improved diet has helped. I occasionally take ibuprofen, exercise regularly and try keep my feet warm. I recently tried CBD (it's legal in my jurisdiction) and it helps too. Hang in there and try to be open to trying different things (as long as they don't hurt you). My neuropathy hasn't progressed for years. Yes, it's somewhat painful at bedtime and often hard to fall asleep but otherwise I live a normal life ... except for my afternoon naps. LOL
