Hi @jakedduck1 I am not an expert as a neurologist would be on the subject but I believe there are stages of neuropathy. Our nerves are our sensors for pain so if our nerves don’t work properly, we would experience numbness and not feel pain. My belief is the neuropathy has progressed to a worse stage. Regardless of the stage of neuropathy, exercise can help to keep it from progressing by encouraging neurogenesis Seems like exercise helps with our health in so many ways. Can’t get away from it. A healthy diet included would give our body the proper fuel and nutrition it needs to combat whatever ailment. Kind of giving our body a push start. Sorry, take caution with your five food groups. Nothing wrong with having a treat now and then. No big portions though. Indulging in small amounts is perfectly fine for me. Toni

@avmcbellar and @jakedduck1, I'm a Huge believer in rewards and use them to push me to do those dratted tasks I most dread as well as motivators for all sorts of things.
Yesterday, receiving a great kidney report at my first visit with the new nephrologist, I promptly did what any self-respecting mortal would do and made a beeline to favorite "curb-side" restaurant for a delish mushroom burger and most favorite-in-the-universe generous slice of choc. rum cake with whip cream, ice cream and hot fudge sauce! Totally justified imo, vbg, Because the doc said my lab reports showed improvements Due to the strict ckd diet and exercise I'd been following.....what's not to celebrate???? lol
Yes, yes, I know "everything in moderation" but I did refrain from buying the whole cake, right???? Smiles to all.

Thank you,
I just read more about the various stages of neuropathy here they are.
Stage One: Numbness and Pain
Stage Two: More Regular Symptoms.
Stage Three: The Pain Reaches Its High Point.
Stage Four: Constant Numbness.
Stage Five: Total Loss of Feeling
No longer any nerves capable of
sending signals to your brain.
Thanks again,
Jake
