I'm so far down this neuropathy hole I have to reach up to touch bottom. My QOL, which has been hovering just over zero since chemo five years ago, seems to be moving toward negative numbers. I do what I can. I am now looking more into exercise for therapy. I use my stationary bike and am trying isometric exercises. I am also using resistance bands, which work well. Being retired, I divide my day into, e.g., one hour blocks of time within which I can pre-plan an activity. Accomplishing my first task in the morning, large or small, gets me out of neutral, into gear, and off to a good start. A successfully executed task in the morning creates momentum, which helps me accomplish the rest of the day's activities. While I am thus engaged, the distress from neuropathy is much less noticeable.
