Hello @annmayo79 -- welcome to Connect. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but I only have numbness and no pain associated with it. I also have trouble walking and do seem to have more problems in the winter here in Minnesota than the summer time. Cold weather and changes in humidity seem to impact my other autoimmune diseases too, mostly my polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).

Do you do any kind of exercises to help or strengthen your legs and back to help with walking?

John
