Welcome Rich @rajoy, I know you are not alone. Neuropathy does take a toll on us. I know it's difficult to accept new limitations, especially when you can't do things you used to love doing. Local support groups can be difficult to find especially after COVID. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy does maintain some lists that might be helpful here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/support/support-groups/.

You can also find a lot of support and understanding here on Connect. Here are a few discussions that might be helpful:
--- Increasingly Difficult to Accept Peripheral Neuropathy: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/nor-accepting/
--- PN? What's good about it?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pn-whats-good-about-it/
--- PN: Do You Think About Things Like This, Too?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pn-do-you-think-about-things-like-this-too/

How long have you had neuropathy? What do you find most difficult to deal with?

It started about 2 years ago. Most difficult to deal with is not able to go anywhere. Been stuck at home for about 1 1/2 years now. Only time out is to see a doc.
