Oh my Chris...what I meant by that: I was told by two docs to “stay off my feet” which to me translated as, “don’t walk, don’t play, don’t do anything on my feet; sit or lay down, stay put, i.e., don’t walk.” Plus, I just cannot walk but a few steps till I cannot tolerate the pain anymore. I’m on the early-end of my journey w/ this condition with no “track record” yet.
You’ve worked hard to walk! In the short few days I’ve been on Connect have learned that walking is good.
You are not doing anything wrong—yikes no! Keep-on-keepin’-on with what’s working for you. All the Best!

Hey there, @southwind. I am checking on you and your walking program now that everything is on the table regarding what the real subject is here. How is your health right now? Any new findings? Are you feeling less pain? I do like your positive endorphins solution. So hoping you are moving forward unconditionally. Be safe and protected. Chris

Happy 2020 @southwind. It's been 6 weeks since we chatted about walking. How are you doing with walking or any up on your feet exercise program? You were in learning mode and getting some help from @johnbishop. What definitive information have you accepted to help you manage your neuropathy? Please share what you have found valuable. As the New Year arrives and we move along.....it is really important for me that I apprise myself of the latest technical information for neuropathy. I am committing to three 2020 goals......or at least aspirations.
1. Complete my taper off an anti-depressant I have been taking for 4 years. I have completed 3 months as of yesterday. Now I need to stabilize and evaluate the result. Have you started or changed your medication as you learn more?
2. Travel in a plane to Texas to see the grandchildren. I haven't felt secure about doing that until I read about your scooter. Do they have those to rent for a week or two? Are you planning any adventures in 2020?
3. Continue to fight depression with Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness practice. I had some movement this year in my ability to accept others with greater loving-kindness. It was pretty special. Do you plan to participate in any programs or retreats this year?
May you have happiness and be free of suffering. Chris
