I have sort of become accustomed to it, as weird as that sounds. It is literally constant. The numbness rears its ugly head when I cut myself or something like that, and don't feel it.
The thing I notice much more is the loss of dexterity in my hands, because we use them all the time, so it's a constant reminder. That and the loss of upper body strength, which I notice every day.
Over the last few years I have plateaued; no better, no worse, or maybe some better in the right hand. That's why I still hope.
Thanks for the reference.
