Welcome Theodore @theodore1238, I've had small fiber peripheral neuropathy for 20+ years or more but only started worrying about it and was diagnosed in 2016. I shared my story in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/

The two best sites I've found for learning more about neuropathy have helped me considerably.
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview

One thing that helps me a lot with the feet are really comfortable shoes. Mostly I wear the memory foam Sketchers. I also make sure that I keep my legs moisturized with a good skin lotion.

Have you been diagnosed or started any treatments for your neuropathy?
