I guess my neuropathy has hit my hands pretty good.

Walked in the front door and saw blood all over my left hand. Had no idea of how or when that happened.
No sugar diabetes in the family, but my dad and brother all suffered from it too.

1. Oh that is awful. Only feet for me, so far

2. Feet and below the knee.

I slow run about 4 days a week. I think that has kept it from getting worse. Walking or running, right at 6 miles my feet feel like they are on fire. Been that way for about 8 years. My dad died at 90 years and he could still walk with a cane.

4. Movement is key!

My daughter is a nurse in a dementia unit - she says that movement is life. The patients who stop walking go downhill fast.

5. I have a pacemaker and 3 Cardiologist

have all told me to keep moving. Heart is doing great, no AFib. My normal pulse use to 45bpm. Then one day it went down to 24.

6. Sounds like you have a good plan and support team!

7. Thanks. My wife is my biggest supporter.

She is a RN.

3. I feel for you! I have peripheral neuropathy also. Hopefully, it will be slow in advancing for you.

Mine does affect my walking somewhat. I do cook a lot and have to be careful about not noticing touching something hot for inadvertent knife knicks. It also makes it an adventure while typing sometimes. Don't have much pain associated with it. Mine is confined to my toes, lower legs and some fingers so far and since I am verging on 90 years old hope to escape that do to life age expectancy.
