I have MGUS and suffer of peripheral neuropathy (PN) for at least 5 years. My PN affects my legs and feet and it manifest itself as numbness and tingling but no pain. I’m 86 years old.

Welcome @renesotomayor, I've had the numbness that started in my toes for over 25 years but only bothered to get a diagnosis in 2016 when it seemed to be progressing some. I guess we both can count ourselves lucky that we don't have pain with the neuropathy. I'm 80 years old but living the best life I can and trying to focus on some daily exercise, healthy eating and staying as positive as I can. I have been working a little harder on my balance exercises because I really don't want to have a bad fall and make things worse.

Have you found anything that helps you get through the day?
