@ray666 Ray, all good news!! I have a saying; no news IS good news! John Bishop makes a good point on the win win. First, sounds like you have a great doctor. Second, no bad news on his end. The fact that your PN has no cure is not a shocker. As you know, I experience identical symptoms as you, no pain, numbness and bad balance ... and getting worse. Being in our range of mid 70's to me, we make adjustments in how we deal with this for our own safety is basically recognizing our abilities in the safest manner. Sounds like you're doing the same. Again, all good news. Ed

@njed Good morning, Ed!
Yes, it was definitely a good meeting with my podiatrist. He's a straight shooter, and I respect that. And I believe he respects me. I could tell he was pleased to see I'd been studying up on neuropathy and able to ask the sorts of questions to which he was able to respond.
I did fake it just a bit when he said, "You realize, Ray, that we've no cure for what you've got," turning to look back at him and moaning, "WHAT? No cure? OMG!" That was my attempt to show my doctor that I could be a straight shooter, too. I like thinking of the two of us as partners in the crazymaking business of caring for me and my idiopathic neuropathy. LOL
More to say, Ed, but I need to get to work. Here's wishing you a fantastic day …
Cheers!
Ray
