Thank you John for the information. I will check out the links you mentioned. One question for you though, with the numbness did you have the odd feelings in your hands like they had grit or little balls to roll around with your fingers. It is so strange and unsettling at times and hard to explain to others. My hands look normal to everyone! Thank you once again for your help.

I've had some tingling in the tips of my fingers but I think it's more related to carpal tunnel syndrome which I also have but so far it's not too bad.

Hi Tessie; I have neuropathy in my hands, feet and ankles, relatively recently diagnosed. I started taking trazodone last night to help me sleep, very low dose. I have been very miserable for quite a while with very little sleep. Then when my neuropathy started I didn’t know what to do . This morning both of my feet had the strangest sensation of just dried out, dehydrated, grainy. I saw somebody else comment about their neuropathy feeling like there was sand on their hands and feet and that it didn’t make any sense. That’s the way that I felt this morning and it made absolutely no sense to me.I’m almost 75 years old, I exercised , stretched and did light weights all through Covid ….and my feet have never felt like that -dried out, crackly and gritty…..
I did call my primary care physician and asked if I should take a second night of the low-dose Trazodone for sleep….considering the impact to my feet and they said yes. I joined this because I was hoping I would find someone who has found a way to deal with neuropathy. I’m trying to stay positive…..
