Hi @ga33, Welcome to Connect. Glad you found this discussion. It does help to live one day at a time and enjoy it the best you can. What helps me is to stay as active as I can and learn something new everyday...sometimes that something new is something I relearned 🙃

Do you have pain with your neuropathy or is it mostly numbness like mine?

Thanks for replying. Depending on the area, symptoms are strongest as I try to sleep and especially when awaking in the morning. I know pain from lower back and sciatica and this is not it. Burning, tingling, weakness and balance problems, however, are it. Symptoms were once confined to both feet but have advanced to the knees. Takes me a few careful minutes getting myself adjusted to meet the day. All this and I'm still very active and respond well to gabapentin 2400 mg daily, acupuncture once weekly and walking in the swimming pool are all beneficial.
Thinking I talk too much.
