I too have Weak kegs and scuffing feet worse toward evening. I have fatigue also worse towards evening. I'm fortunate I don' t have a lot of pain. Now I feel the neuropathy must have traveled to my upper extremities. My hands shake with purposeful movements and my forearms feel heavy. Things seem to be getting worse fast. It all started in my toes 19 years ago. I should consider myself lucky. I also don't have good control over my feet, at times they feel like they are propelling ahead of me. I also feel I'm "tripping over my words" when speaking.

Hello.. I feel your concern. I'm going on a year with the same problems. Do you feel comfortable in certain shoes?
Hi. I find it particularly interesting that you say your leg weakness and scuffing are worse toward evening. That's my problem, and I've never been able to figure out how why. I've blamed it on nothing more than end-of-day fatigue, but there are days –– late afternoons, which I'd think would prove cause & effect –– when I've cycled (stationary cycle) followed by some evenings when I have leg weakness and other evenings when my legs feel fine. I find it all very puzzling. ––Ray (@ray666)

I am so sorry. Your situation sounds a lot like mine. The majority of my pain is in my lower back, but I think it’s because I had back trauma from a fall and surgery. This is the first time I’ve heard anyone say anything about their speech being an issue. I’ve been having periodic speech issues that I call “slurring.” It seems to happen when I do a lot of talking or I’m upset, but after 15 minutes or so my speak returns to normal.
I’ve heard there are five stages to this disease. How does one determine what stage they’re in based on their symptoms?
