@dbeshears1 Debbie - you are right about your PT comment. When I go back, they do a full analysis of my current condition which with PN, let's face it, changes occur. They will then give you strengthening exercises based on today's conditions. What to do, what not to do for your own safety. I will be going back in October, need to stretch out the timeline due to yearly caps in insurance which has never made sense to me and never will. Once thing for sure PT helps.

Hi,
I am Illa and I am on here a lot just reading and responding thanking God for all that you share because it it extremely helpful to me. So with my Neuropathy when I was diagnosed it was severe and progressive when I was diagnosed. I don’t know if you have heard my story , but as I stated I went to bed one night and woke up numb from my waist down. I had no clue what was going on a series of test and the shock treatment to see if you have it and how bad you have it was taking and that was my diagnosis Severe Progressive Peripheral Neuropathy. I went back to the doctor where at that time they told me there was nothing they could do and there was no cure and I would say that was 2 years ago maybe even 3. Never once did they recommend PT or balancing exercises to assist me or any of the recommendations that I have learned from this support group. So group from the bottom of my heart I thank you all because you have been such an inspiration to me. I pray that we all are able to continue encouraging each other and sharing our different perspectives of this ailment. My diagnosis has been prayer and trusting God to do the rest. I have my good and bad days but I won’t give up and I am encouraging you to keep your head up and stay positive because God is not finished with us yet. I Hope something was said to encourage you or bless your heart. Thank you so much for sharing and blessing mine. Have an amazing weekend everyone and God bless.
