Hello @phillyrich19, Welcome to Connect. You are not aging alone and there is a lot of hope out there. You just have to find it. I think a lot of people are unsympathetic because they don't know the feeling or lack of feeling. I actually found Connect because I also was told there are no treatments that help with the numb feeling. I shared my story in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

To answer your question about what you can do to help yourself - learn as much as you can about your condition and what treatments are available that offer some relief. Here are two sites that I think can get you started:
--- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
--- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview.
--- Presentations & Videos: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/fpn-media-center/.

Here are a few other discussions you might find helpful:

Do you do any hand exercises to help with playing the piano?
