13. Yes, I have

non diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
Yesterday I had blood drawn for DNA as I may have some form of familial amyloidosis.

Background
My father and brother along with me, all have late onset Peripheral Neuropathy or tingly cold feet and have lost a lot of feeling. We all have high arches and glaucoma.

So, it looks like we, my brother and I as dad died at 90 about 11 years ago, will be getting lots of test and may be looked at for the new CRISPR studies.

or we may not.

I now have trouble walking without tripping, but have no trouble running. Go figure.
