Welcome @danamw73, I think we've all been there at one time or another and it's easy to get depressed when you have to deal with the condition every day. My neuropathy started sometime in my late 40s into my 50s but I didn't bother to get a diagnosis until I was in my early 70s. My best advice that I can offer is to learn as much as you can about your condition and treatment options available that may provide relief for your symptoms. Connect is a great place to learn what treatments others have shared has helped them.

If you haven't already seen the following site, it might be worth your time to read through some of the information on the available alternative and complementary treatments.

I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. Do you you mind sharing a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?
