Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

@ray666 After 11 years of this damn thing, I have come to the conclusion that PN can be exhausting. Those in pain are constantly fighting the effects of that and those without pain are fighting the dilemma of how to stay upright on two feet with numbness and poor balance. I have good times of the day as well, but I find that at the end of the day, my balance is worse. I suppose we start out the day with so much energy, and the key is to spread out the energy throughout the day, so we make it through the day maintaining the best balance we can. There are so many mysteries about PN we'll never know.

@njed My balance is definitely worse later in the day. Say, for example, right now it is 8 AM, and my legs feel fine, and my balance is pretty good. As the day progresses, almost regardless of how up & about I've been, my legs will grow more and more fatigued, and taking care not to lose my balance will become more and more a thought uppermost in my mind. I try rationing my leg strength and fair balance, especially if there's something planned for the evening, like going out to have dinner with a friend, but more often not I find that my rationing has been to no avail and I'm as leg weary and wobbly as ever. –Ray (@ray666)
