Hello @ johnbishop,
I am new to this site but
certainly not new to the symptoms of neuropathy.
I too started with the burning , tingling sensation in both feet about 25 years ago that has gradually gone to numbness , paresthesia in both feet and ankles. But my symptoms are positional , only when sitting or lying down. I’m fine when I’m upright and moving.
I would be interested in hearing about the outcome of your research to find out why you have this and what treatment you have begun.

Hi @jalcorn, Here's a link to the post in the Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours? discussion where I shared my neuropathy journey and what has helped me -- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

In the past year I've also focused on learning more about what connection the Metabolic Syndrome may play with neuropathy. Here are a few sources you may find interesting and possibly helpful:
--- The Metabolic Syndrome and Neuropathy: Therapeutic Challenges and Opportunities: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3881591/
--- Metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for neurological disorders
