Good morning, Debbie (@dbeshears1)
Thank you for your message! And thank you for reminding me of Gabapentin. I've heard of it, but know nothing about it. Nor has my neurologist mentioned it. He and I talk openly about my PN, so I wouldn't be shy about asking about Gabapentin.
I've not done any positive mind exercises as a deliberate practice, but I see myself as a naturally positive person anyway. That's why this neuropathy has put me somewhat off-balance (bad pun!). As a naturally positive person who, when challenged, immediately thinks: What can I do? my neuropathy has got me puzzled, having to learn as much as I can about my ailment before I can reasonably expect to answer the question: What can I do?
I do my own PT here at home. I've attended many PT workshops over the years and my home is now filled with PT handouts and all sorts of PT "props." I find it easier to do PT these days here at home. For several months now I have been following an online PT program, Better Balance for Life. I attribute what improvement I've made to that program.
Thank you again for your message. Let's both stay positive!
Cheers!
