Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@solobeee I'm sorry to hear you are having a bad day. I have the numbness and sometimes the feet feel a little heavy. Once in awhile I feel the stiffness but not very often anymore. I find keeping my feet and legs moisturized helps a lot. I sleep with low top loose socks on and before I put the socks on I rub my feet with a moisturizer lotion. I also use it on my legs but not as much. I try to do at least 30 minutes of walking or riding my exercise bike daily which I think helps also.

There are a couple of good neuropathy websites where you can find a lot of different alternative treatments that have been found helpful.

- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/

Thanks this is all good info. I’ve been doing much of what u suggest - can’t figure out why it got so bad today. Have vibrated them, iced them for an hour & now applying some topical 1:1 Med Marijuana. Plan to take a bike ride tomorrow- we’ll see what’ll be. Tx.

Good afternoon @solobeee, Yesterday was a winner.....My normal pain was under control and I felt like dancing around the room. Today is the pits. Even medical cannabis is not pulling its own weight today. And then I knew....no sunshine and a pathetically depressed barometric pressure.

If it is above 30.00 we have an opportunity to have a great day. Below 30.00 and it will be a struggle all day trying to stay on a positive path. That s when I have to call on my mindfulness practice to step up to the plate and give me a chance.

May you have contentment and ease.
Chris
