I have had peripheral neuropathy for close to five years. The worst part is that when you think you are improving, it turns out to be short lived, and PN hits you with some other kind of pain or symptom. My wife is always encouraging me to try this medication or try something like acupuncture. The medicines do nothing for me, and treatments like acupuncture do no better than beating myself over the head. What I do now is is anything that I can do. I had to quit softball because I couldn't run. Golf as it was too tiring to walk through the rough; pickleball and table tennis as I was afraid that I would go after a ball too abruptly and land on the concrete or floor. I have not given up though as now I play billiards. I get some exercise by walking around the table, and I can sit while waiting for my turn. For many years I have written a weekly column for friends and a digital newspaper. I can still do this. The point is that I try to adapt to what I can do. Barry
