Living with PN, do you find yourself retreating from life?

Hello, @quietriver. Thanks for the kind things you say; however, I do believe I too often come across in my Connect posts as having more spunk and get-up-and-go than I really have. 🙂 I've good days and bad days, just like most of us, and when I'm having a bad day it's very often a bad, BAD day. Today, for example, my balance is especially wonky, leaving me wondering why. I'm saving the afternoon for an hour or so of exercise, chiefly balance work. I wish I could say that I had a sure trick for reversing things when my balance is unusually poor, but I can't (share a sure trick). I'm like most of us: on the lookout for that sure trick. 🙂 Cheers! –Ray (@ray666)

@ray666 Good morning Ray, I too have better days and then an off day. I feel like my off days are when I didn't sleep as well or when I have over done at work. Most people see me pushing my tool cart around and then they looked shocked when they see me walking with a cane. They have seen me for years and then ask, what happened to you when they see the cane. I show them my buried cane on my tool cart and explain that my tool cart does not do stairs to the roof tops. Many are those stairs a challenge for me, as I try to take everything I might need to work with, but there is always the job where I make repeated trips up and down for parts or unexpected problems. On those days that one job is all I can handle as I fatigue with multiple trips and the my left leg muscles contract, my leg jumps up and therefore I use the cane for balance because I cannot control my leg sometimes. That has more to do with my drop foot I think. I just don't let any of it stop me, yes it slows me down and days when I set more doing work orders allows my body to recoup from the hard days. For me sitting too long is not a good thing either. Being winter my calfs get cold, so I bought these knee braces and wear them around my calfs, a size smaller works. They are made in Korea with materials that warm your skin. Really helps as cold muscles get tight and that affects my walking. I don't know if others with p/n have same issues or not.

@ray666 I. agree with you on that, but,There is no sure trick and if you hear of on besure to check it out Good. I find a lot of folks I trust news casters and public figure we all know wouldn't lie to us saying things that are sure cures. The. Fbi Confirmed what I keep seeing the new AI videos are great sellers and the bigest lie there ever was and almost imposible proveit is a false advertisement. When I call to order some I ask a lot of questions. One I ask and what is you conection to elon or who ever is in. that video. when they say who you know it is a lie.who?? I hang up.because I have found a huge amount comes streight out of China. One is on a sure cure for nueorphy and if you call the company it'is from China. If you do fing one let me know. Have a nice day Ray
