Thank you John for the welcome and plethora of information. Yes I'll share more of my neuropathy hurdles, and in the other forum you linked. Sorry you've not had much success. I recently heard capsaicin cream helps but that some find it burn-y. I may try it. You say you have no pain with your neuropathy. For me that's a fine line. I guess reason being at times I have pain, like a single sewing needle being jabbed into a toe, then maybe a heel, then a leg, but fortunately that, while consistent, isn't super often. I too have the numbness which some days, even with no treatment, are better than others. Then there's days when it feels doubly "numb" but there is a definite internal feeling...like man it's hard to describe. Like, if one is sitting still we normally aren't like conscious of say, our shins. Or our forearms. Etc. They are there but they aren't screaming at us with sensation. But the feet ARE. Every second of sitting say in an easy chair, the feet have a pretty strong feeling. It's not that painful except when you consider it never goes away. Kind of like when say someone gives you a rug burn on your wrist...remember those? They can go fairly light and it doesn't hurt too much. BUT...if they NEVER stopped doing it, a deep pain would be associated with it. Kind of like if you grab your fingers in one hand with your other hand and squeeze them together. Lightly is ok. Well that's kind of what my neuropathy feels like. Squeeze harder or almost as hard as you can, and that's how it feels on bad days. I will admit that my pain is better during the day while I am working.

Hello, John @johnbishop and @paulalbert, @hotfooted , @athenalee and everyone else.

I'm kind of pushing into the conversation here, but I'm not a shy southern girl.

John has heard my story, so I'll be brief. I've had peripheral neuropathy for many years. I'm 74 now.
