Neuropathy & Exercise

Posted by southwind @southwind, Nov 13, 2019

How have you received enough physical exercise while dealing with neuropathy?? Do you walk in spite of the condition; tiptoe to get around; particular exercise program, etc.?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Congratulations John! A much needed reminder. I am receiving over 30 emails, but most chatter is of a social nature, which is good, but more suited forr Facebook or Instagram. Personally I am pleased to report, that I rode my exercise yesterday for over 30 minutes and have set myself target to reach 90 minutes, non stop by January next , when I turn 90 years. 5 of my sons will ride with me. Neuroplasticity is the answer, as my Peripheral-neuropathy problems ARE reducing , but slowly, every day. My balance, walking aand sleeping. Best wishes, again, from Australia.

Barry - WOW, good for you! I'm so happy you are able to accomplish great things at your ripe young age. I'm totally jealous. I know that's not a good attribute but, it's the truth. Keep going Barry...do it for me today! 😊

Hi, @lioness, So psychic dearie, vbg, how much of my first food order will arrive? Mine is coming from a locally owned grocery called United. Would be helpful if you could give me a hint on quantity so I can estimate the number of steps I'll be taking. Feet really "speak" to me if I use them too long at a time.

The first week that the beaches were closed, I ducked through spaces between the barricades and home-owners' fences (to get my daily exercise: running on the beach). After a few days, one beach had police on horseback, another had patrol cars on the beach so that didn't work for long. I went further north, past beaches with barricaded parking lots, and found one that was open - a sign says it can be used for dog-walking, exercising, and surf-fishing, NO SURFING. While I was there, a couple of young guys came with boogie boards and surfed that way. In the water, they were 10 feet apart but on the beach, they chatted right next to each other. I was young once, I understand that relationships are very important to young people - I just hope that they don't get us all banned. The governor ordered the beaches closed for 2 reasons: young people were fraternizing and not using any protection, and second, people came to our little resort town from DC, Pennsylvania, and New York the first weekend and flocked to the beach like they always do and didn't use any protection or distance. The governor didn't want them bringing their germs to us ... so the beaches and the 'short-term-rentals' were closed. All non-essential businesses were closed. Last weekend, police had check-stops on the highways - they stopped cars with out-of-state plates, asked them what business they here, and gave them a choice: agree to self-quarantine for two weeks, or turn around and go back home.

It reminds me of the book 1984 by Orwell. Peggy

@colleenyoung my neuropathy exercise is to keep moving. Unfortunately today it was moving 8” of snow off my deck. I would rather be using my Sand Dune Stepper which feels good on my feet. 🙃

Hi @johnbishop quite an exercise removing all that snow. What a workout! I agree I would prefer the sand dune stepper myself.....the beaches are why I moved to Florida, lol. Love the warmer climate. Thanks, you are a motivator! I started my portable elliptical machine and feel much better. I just need to add a fan to keep cooler. I feel people are looking for an easy fix by taking a pill but they should not overlook hard work because it can benefit too.
I wanted to let you know I tried the licorice tea...unfortunately i saw no help with the neuropathy 🙁

What a coincidence! I love Bethany Beach. I don't know if I mentioned that I'm from Los Angeles ... can't live without an ocean! Peggy

Re: Food and Neuropathy ... I have been eating jalapeno and poblano peppers lately ... I have been waking up with more than usual pain in my legs. It could be unrelated, or, the capsaisin in my bloodstream might be aggravating my nervous system ... it's plausible. Have any of you noticed any correlation between pain levels and what you've been eating? Any foods that consistently seem to cause more pain, or, less pain? Peggy
