I too am new to this group. I have terrible neuropathy in my hands and feet.
My right hand is much worse than my left and my left foot is really numb and
is going up to my ankle. I take walks often and take Tai Chi three times a week.
Tai Chi is wonderful for balance and keeps you moving. However, my neuropathy is getting worse. Any advice anyone could give, would be great.

Have you seen a neurologist? I did and was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Polyneuropathy.

Hi, leelees (@leelees)

I hadn't noticed your reply. I'm sorry. However, you don't say if you're seeing a neurologist. I'm guessing you are, or otherwise you might not be calling your numbness a neuropathy. I went for years with an ever-worsening balance, but not even my primary doc (who is a good primary doc) thought to suggest a neuropathy or to refer me to a neurologist. The symptom you do mention is numbness. My neurologist tells me I have some numbness in my feet, and that's why I have such poor balance, but so far it has not progressed. The advice it seems you're looking for will be best given by someone dealing with progression. I am sure someone will post soon. Stick around. You might try your question under a different topic heading. Or create a new topic. That might be best. Good luck!
