Neuropathy symptoms are worse when I sit or lay down: Anyone else?

To clarify my comment about going for a walk and dancing, I have had my PN since 2005. Brought on by a severe case of shingles in my left leg misdiagnosed and mistreated by three doctors. A dermatologist finally helped me after four months of misery. I then developed RA and reached a point where I almost couldn’t walk at all. Then I found my rheumatologist who is a gem and has helped me so much. I thank all the good doctors out there. I also love my oncologist who is a good doctor and a good person. Who congratulated me on eight years free last week.

We get more and more common to an extent! I got shingles 4 yrs after my neuropathy onset , in my arm along an already surgeries ulna nerve, and WOW was the shingles a neurological setback! I like your rheumatologist comment - I have yet to seek one out, but have heard others use them and am thinking it may be worth a try! Congrats on 8 yrs cancer free! I am 1 yr throat cancer free, and treatments set neuropathy back a bit, but like shingles, and later the shingles vaccine, spaced around my Covid vaccines, I am back to my “normal “ unexplained neuropathy level!
