Don’t know if this is the place for my comment. I am 73 and diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in my hands just 2 months ago. I now have numbness in my feet. I went from normal walking to a cane and now a walker. This all happened since September. Is this speed of deterioration something other people have experienced?

Hi harwi002
I read your short description here and let me say how sorry I am of your predicament.'Not much out there to help with PN but the most legit and no need for doctor requests is Physical Therapy.
Long process but it seems to prevent the condition from progressing further.
I am 85 and go to the gym 5 days a week and also 3 days a week I go to physical therapy workout.
It is one hour with the instructor glued to you, making sure you work out okay.
Anyway, I have been struggling with this for 10 years, walking with a cane my balance is very bad so I accept my situation and live this way as if it is the way I am supposed to live. I do mow the lawn as yard work is concerned, the rest I hire people to do for me.
I am not rich but I manage my money in such a way that I am also able to take day tours with the local tour bus company.
Enjoy life as best I can.
Good luck and a happy new year.
