Hi Lori @lorirenee1 nice to hear from you! Every day is certainly a challenge for us. My daily goal is to do what I can just to make it through the day. Being able to sit down is a big deal. I am glad that the pain has settled. I am with you regarding your peculiar shin sensations. I hope that also goes away eventually. I have been through shocks a few times myself. I don’t recall any residual effects after like muscle soreness. I did have my bodily sensors intact then. Have you tried a fan blowing on your shins as Hank @jesfactsmon suggested Linda does for her feet? Here in central Florida I always have the ceiling fan on while I sleep. It seems to help.

How do you manage without depth perception? Doesn’t it affect your balance at all? I know it does for me because stepping on a soft surface is difficult for my brain to maintain my balance. Outside surfaces like a lawn or gravel are extremely difficult to walk on without a quad cane. I am able to go grocery shopping by using the shopping cart to hold on to so I can walk. The shopping cart becomes my walker.

I have visited the website for assistance with neuropathy using VR therapy. It offers help in 2 ways. One is the VR goggles and the other is using your phone. Have you tried your phone for the exercises? That should be better for you.

Thanks for asking. I feel better now that I got rid of that awful burning in my stomach and esophagus. It would last all day. Sometimes too much of a supplement may not be good either so I rely on a balanced diet. As a result of stopping the eye exercises my motion sickness has decreased to what it was before. I feel my double vision has improved slightly. I tried the eye exercises as you did the stimulator. We learn what is best by the process of elimination since the health industry provides no answers. I am waiting to try corrective eye surgery next to align my eyes and eliminate the diplopia. My neuro ophthalmologist believes the majority of my motion sickness is due to the misalignment of my eyes. We can have several health issues without our nerves or bodily sensors to send accurate signals to our brain so our brain can fix a problem or allow us to do tasks. Simple things to a normal person can become BIG challenges for us. Hang in there Lori. I wish you the best to relieve your pain. Toni
