PN - speed of upwards progress?
Neuropathy | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
I don’t have an answer to your question but I will have a comment. I have neuropathy in my feet and it’s starting to go into my lower calves. I think my feet and heels are becoming more and more numb and it’s a little scary.

@kllevinson I've had it for 7 years. Last year I noticed it creeping higher.
Its in my thighs now, and affects my bladder.
Awful disease!!

I had neuropathy starting in 2025 and it was mild and confined to feet. Now, after having a shin shave biopsy in which I probably had some peripheral nerve entrapment, the neuropathy is now in my lower calves but not every day. I find environmental extremes and weather changes affect me--first, the long, cold winter which probably interfered with my shin healing, and now we went from a cold, damp spring into blasting heat. The extremes are not very good for neuropathy people. I try to do exercises and it helps--that, too, cannot be too extreme or nerves will flare up, eat healthy, take supplements ( I also have celiac disease which caused the neuropathy.) Finally, I keep in mind that like the weather, my flare up is most likely temporary. Each day brings something new. It is important to be body aware-maybe even keep a journal of symptoms.
