@arcuri24 I can’t sit still either, glad I live across the street from the Y and on a park with a lake to walk. I think without neuropathy, I would be an obese old man with a cane. The illness forced me to get off my but. I just realized how true what you said about doctors being more pill pushers than exercise pushers is true. I even got silenced in a forum for suggesting it.

@jum13 I, too, live about a block away from a Y. Unfortunately, their fees have gone up and although they have a Silver Sneakers program, my health care plan does not pay for it. But I am happy to exercise here at home with my dog watching from the sofa. I do Classical Stretch but modify it according to my needs. I also incorporate free weights. I believe we were born to move and that can be part of the healing process for neuropathy and other health issues. Yet, we must be patient with ourselves both in what we do and the outcomes we are aiming for. Of course, the pills might work almost instantly but they might complicate things down the road. You are lucky to be near a park with a lake as nature can be restorative.
