Good evening @jesfactsmon, So.....you know, I am sure, that the greatest precursors for neuropathy are diabetes and chemotherapy. Everything else is labeled "idiopathic" and that is the category where I ended up. Knowing very little about nerves except how much pain their lack of functioning can cause, I started thinking about all of the injuries to my body from the time I was about twelve and had a severe break in my ankle from twirling too fast on roller skates. There have been 13 other surgical repairs to my body from falling off horses, diving too shallow, falling over a sprinkler with a crash, and including the last fall down the mountain which then introduced me to cervical fusions. I just gotta believe that somehow we pay a price with structural injuries. No matter how hard the clinicians try it is just not possible to repair to be just as good as you were before. And then along comes aging, with all the aches and pains.

And there you have it.....lifestyle choices that are riskily undertaken by someone with less skill than what is required to stay all in one piece. That's my story and I have to stick to it to explain all of the neuropathy symptoms that I now tackle with patience and perseverance.

May you be healthy and content.
Chris
