Hello, this is actually two people. I have had chemo induced neuropathy for the past 13 years, worse now, since a return of cancer in 2019 and a second round of chemo. My husband has peripheral neuropathy in his feet and lower legs of unknown origin, probably age related (74 years old). We are encouraged to join the conversation and hope to find some strategies to help.

Good evening @keithandsue, welcome to the Neuropathy group on Connect. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to welcome a couple. Obviously, you two have discovered a number of issues that you shared and then also found symptoms that only affected one of you.
In 13 years what strategies have been the most helpful for Keith? What symptoms have been similar for both of you? Do you both have the same neurologist or clinical specialist? Hopefully, that will mean you are both on the same page and can help each other.
You may already know about the following two referral links. If not, it might be worthwhile to see what fits your individual situation.
Neuropathy Commons
https://neuropathycommons.org/
Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy
https://www.foundationforpn.org/
Do each of you have different questions to ask? You can include them in the same response or separate them. We'll try to keep Keith's separate from yours Sue.
May you both be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
