@ray666 hi Ray, thank you so much for being one of the first to welcome me! a happy holiday to you as well! oh my yes you can thank your lucky stars you don’t have pain -I would far rather be totally numb than have pain. Unfortunately we don’t get to pick what we are given or the degree to which it is bestowed. However, I do find that the price of longevity for many of us is quite hefty. So far I’ll take it over the alternative 🙂 they say in exercising” no pain no gain” I think for those with neuropathy no pain is a big gain! I look forward to interacting with you and the others on the board and perhaps exchanging helpful tips to make life a little more manageable
