Welcome @dot1, Your diagnosis sounds a lot like mine. I shared my story in another discussion here - Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/

Early on my diagnosis is 2016 I tried a lot of different things including essential oils for neuropathy like Frankincense and Myrrh but didn't find much relief. Now I do rub lotion on my feet and legs nightly to keep the skin hydrated which I think does help some. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy lists a lot of different complementary and integrative treatments that you might find helpful - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.

What type of shoes do you find the most helpful for walking and comfort?

Thanks for that tip. I will take a look at that website.
I have a pair of SAS shoes that are the most support. I also wear a pair of Fila walking shoes, inexpensive but comfortable.
