Dose anyone else feel like neuropathy is taking over their life?

Thank you for all the info you gave in this response regarding what you are doing for neuropathy. I live in Canada and I am going to see if I can find a myokinesthetist and also the Scoop you mentioned. I am so handicapped from this illness and I fear one day I will no longer be able to use my walker. I can’t stand by myself which limits some of my exercise activity. I think what hurts me the most is having to depend on others for help. I bought a scooter last year which does help me in many ways but our summers are so short here and once the snow and bad weather sets in I am housebound
I will keep you and others informed if I find help here with your info. Thanks once again.

Hi Tessie - thank you for your kind words. I should mention that the Scoop, although not a huge piece of equipment, weighs more than I can pick up. Aside from the one I am borrowing, I have only seen it online. It does require assembly at home. I can move it a few feet in order to vacuum but I would not be able to carry it into the house. (I'm 76). It is a nice piece of equipment, though, especially since it is used while you are seated. I have an appreciation for your shorter summers as my granddaughter and her husband live in Canada and they keep me informed. And I can empathize with how it hurts to depend on others. But I have found that people are so glad to be helpful in this age of independence when our social units are so strung-out. We all need to be needed.
