Hi everyone, may I just ask a question. I suffer from Motor Neuropathy in legs and feet and hands. I have had this condition for a number of years, and as I think happens, it is gradually getting worse, the nerves are totally dead. However, I have found over the last few months that when I first get up, i feel totally exhausted. Obviously, I do not sleep well because of the discomfort, but this exhaustion is totally over the top. I drag myself around for a few hours, but then, as the day moves on, I begin to feel less shattered. Obviously, walking is a problem as I am 82 and have had some horrendous falls (fractured pelvis last time) and I don't expect to feel as I felt when much younger, but standing is also a huge problem. If anyone has any tips or ideas as to why this is so, I would be most grateful. It is now 2.30 p.m. and I am beginning to feel much better, and this is always how it goes. I do notice how purple my feet and ankles are when I first get up, and use a leg massage machine for 15 minutes. Could it be poor circulation after laying in bed? Any comments, suggestions would be most welcome.
