Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

Hello @beckypetty, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear your neuropathy is getting worse. A lot of us struggle daily with some of life's limitations caused by neuropathy. I know it's not much help saying you are not alone but one common goal we all have is searching for something that will provide that little bit of extra relief to give us some quality of life. I'm not sure if you have seen some of the complementary or integrative therapies that have helped others with neuropathy but the Foundation of Peripheral Neuropathy has some suggestions you may find helpful here -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/managing-peripheral-neuropathy/
You may also find a few other discussions helpful by reading posts from other member and learning what has helped them.

I think it's great that you lost 50 lbs on your plant based diet which I'm sure was a big help. Have you tried doing any type of exercises to help with your mobility?

Ok. I’m taking back what o said about the vaccine not causing a problem. I’ve been on amoxicillin since last Friday as I have a full knee replacement and was having a CT Scan. Both my knees have become extreme stiff and painful. It’s like a ring of pain around both knees. I’m suspecting the amoxicillin as it’s the only thing different. So why couldn’t the vaccine do something similar. I’m defensive of the vaccine because I feel we all should have it. Sorry if I sounded like a know it all because I’m far from that. Apologies!

I ride a stationary bike and do chair yoga. My neuropathy prevents me from walking or doing anything upright. My balance is horrific. The neuropathy just keeps getting worse. I take supplements, lost weight so now am recommended weight , exercise and try to stay positive. It’s very discouraging especially since In January I had very few symptoms after being on plant based diet and losing weight.
