Aw, @fisbo, keep your chin up. After experiencing physical changes and inabilities myself, I understand the fight that it continually takes to deal with neuropathy and chronic conditions. I'm right there with you.
Everyone's progression and stages of processing grief takes their own amount of time. Yes, I said grief because mourning loss comes in to play as we adjust to our body's changes. I'm not sure what stage you're at in your journey or how new this is to you, but please know the Connect community has been where you are and is there with you now.
If I can give you one piece of advice, it is to not give up on yourself or your value. Try to keep hope alive and think positive while continuing to problem solve. Sometimes our health is like a chess match, we have to always think of our next move.
I love that you keep swimming even though it's more challenging for you. I'm impressed by what you do already in that pool! Do you think modification or moderation may help make it any easier for you? Maybe adjusting lengths or time so you don't push/crash? Just some thoughts...
I'm rooting for you at your next neurology appointment. Will you come back with an update?
