To Ray - In Feb 2020 Mayo in MN gave me the idiopathic axonal sensorimotor PN diagnosis. They did MANY tests. I went to Mayo with the idea in mind OK, what can this be? It was explained to me that with this type of neuropathy, there is not much that can be done with respect to any meds helping this condition. I experience no pain, only that tight sock feeling, numbness toes to shins and very poor balance and bi-later drop foot. One neurologist said to me I want you to keep moving. Keep walking. I never forgot what he said and that was in 2017. The diagnosis of axonal PN now means we have to figure out how to do things differently ... not stop doing things. I feel remaining active is vital and yes, not easy. I walk slow with supports for drop foot and at times with a cane but my wife and I continue to travel each month to our vacation home and I'm determined to keep moving. Everyone has a choice, I've made mine and I believe keeping active will slow down the progress of my PN which is perhaps the best we can do. Wish you the best and my advise....keep moving.
