Anyone lost the ability to walk due to peripheral neuropathy?

@ray666 Morning Ray, No pain what a blessing that is. I've had to buy a small indoor motorised wheelchair to get me around in the morning as I just can't walk. I've have breakfast then meds and a couple of hours later I can use my sticks inside. Small wheelchair is good in shopping malls etc.. zip here and zip there. That minus temp of yours I just can't imagine, however do you keep warm, I've been up around that area, but in June -July. I did it with a travel group, train and bus from one side of America, up to Canada on the way to the other side of America. Loved it, needless to say well before PN knocked on my door. How about 42° recon you could handle that with humidity the last 4 to 5 years. We will be in trouble for not sticking to medical, will we?? Toodle-loo Wendy @wenner

Hi, Wendy
Temps as low as -20°––I won't lie. It's no easy to keep warm. I can't imagine how additionally difficult it would be to keep warm if I'd had PN back then. My PN has me feeling chilly when others are quite comfortable. I don't think I could have tolerated such low temps if I'd had PN back then. I would have no choice but to move.
Here's to a good weekend!
Cheers!
Ray

@ray666 Good Evening Ray, your have a good weekend came when mine was half over, and now almost over. My 43° should have read 43Celsius, a summer's day here. Ray you wouldn't have to take Meds would you? just lots of exercising. Have you glass in them or feeling going. You've got me curious now. Aren't you glad no working day after the w/e. Concreter is starting my paths tomorrow, widening all way around for wheelchairs, I love the outdoors. Bye Wendy @wenner

I am 83 , running without pain and original joints.
You might want to search the web for neuropathy cause.
Vit B12 makes myelin to continually keep ALL nerves coated, brain too. Seniors need to take B12 supplement. Our stomach has less acid which extracts B12 . We eat way less B12 food. Best food source is mussels. 10 times as much as red meat. Oh, alcohol damaged our 20 ft small intestine lining, further reducing B12 absorption.
Go for it.

Hi, @jamessaxo. Running without pain at 83 is incredible! I salute you. How much running do you do? My right knee is already a TKR. I had that installed … oh, 20-25 years ago, when my ortho doc slapped my X-ray on his lightbox and said, "You see, Ray: bone-on-bone." My TKR doesn't give me any trouble; never has. My left knee's overload of arthritis is largely the result of the insane amount of running I used to do. I was training for another ultra marathon when I said, "Stop being stupid, Ray. Get another hobby. How about readinng? Or chess?" 🙂 All my best to you, @jamessaxo! –Ray (@ray666)

@ray666
Thanks for saying u have been a good runner. Impact on cartilage squeezes out old cells. I have taken vit D suppl and or did plenty of sun bathing. I think high vit D saved my knees. Sad that u have pain.

Forgot to say, ran one marathon aged 53, 3 hrs 27 m. Play chess, sax,
guitar and piano. On losartan for mysterious blood pressure. Go for it.

Hi, James
Oh, yes, that ol' cartilage squeeze! I'm sure familiar with that. I had four or scopes done to my knee, before the TKR, because of diminished cartilage. As for Vit D – I still take a Vit D3 supplement.
