Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hi @pammy922, welcome to Connect. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate to deal with but I can tell you that you are not alone. I think we've all tried a multitude of shoes. I found the ones I like were Sketchers slip-ons but they do not offer much side support so I have to be careful using them for balance problems. I also struggled with socks and found that bamboo thread socks were really soft, comfortable and very easy to put on and take off.

I take over the counter supplements that I found in a closed group on Facebook that helps me and has also helped others that were in a lot of pain with their neuropathy. It may or may not work for you but it's worth a try if nothing else has provided relief. I have links to the group in an earlier post where I shared my neuropathy story here:

@artscaping and @jenniferhunter have shared some great information on dealing with pain in many of their posts. I'm hoping they might have some suggestions for you.

@pammy922 it sounds like you have made significant progress being able to walk again. What is the biggest thing that would help improve your quality of life?

Hello john, i just joined this and also have neuropothy stemming from agent orange. I take lyrica but dont like it because it causes me to sleep super deep and excess hours. Trying CBD now with no effect but ive been 100% off sugar for a couple weeks and i believe it has lessened th acuteness. Rob
