Why is my neuropathy worse while driving?

Chris - Thanks for sharing and confirming we’re not alone in our travels (so it’s not all in our heads ☺️) My current neurologist had never heard of MFR and quickly dismissed it. I have a new Neurologist scheduled in a few weeks and plan on discussing with him. I also mentioned it to my Integrative Medicine Dr. - she’d heard of it but didn’t know a lot about it, but recommended acupuncture. I have my “last” session this week. I’ll say I’ve been pleased with results and positive energy so far, but more in my feet than in my hands.
Where better should I ask about MFR? In the mean time I’ll try to release the death grip on my steering wheel and do more finger interlocking exercises.

MFR……..Myofascia Release Therapy is a hands on approach to releasing restricted layers of fascia that can cause pain, swelling and other discomforts and irritations. I currently have two sessions every week. Without it, I can’t imagine coping with the level of pain and discomfort that I would have without MFR. As my SFN progresses, I will need even more sessions or more therapists at every session. I now have two therapists and two sessions a week.

One of our mentors, @jenniferhunter, has posted an entire section on MFR here on Connect. I'll let her introduce it to you. You can also go to https://myofascialrelease.com/ and read about the work of John Barnes. Only the John Barnes Expert Level therapists have enough experience and training for my level of need for myofascial therapy. There is also a Find a Therapist list so you can see who might be in your area. Not every therapist is on the list so let me know if you need helping locating one in your area.
May you be content and at peace.
Chris
