I write (Use white-out as needed), draw (black pen, chalk or oil pastels), paint (water color), sing and make detailed collages (Gluestick and ModPodge)
The poetry, singing and collage work are my main releases. My sketching and painting are a great release but are in no way extraordinary.

Also I'd like to ask about that "bad heart"... does this mean you are on statins for cholesterol? These drugs damage nerves in some people.
No. They said it was congenital, that my paternal Grandmother had a "weak heart" and that I have a faulty valve. (Mitral) I do not take statins.

This is good that some initial supplements are helping you. Don't forget about magnesium in some form...either soaking in epsom salts, taking a quality supplement or using a topical lotion like Morton's new Epsom lotion.
Thank-You! This is new information for me. How much is recommended, or should I inquire when I see my Doctor?

Yoga is good. It teaches helpful breathing which can lessen nerve symptoms due to poor breathing habits. Just don't strain anything with some of the more difficult moves.
Don't worry, my body will start yelling at me if I overdo it!

There are things that help PN for most people. But a "cure" is not realistic for many. Stopping progression and lessening discomfort is a serious goal, everyone here can perhaps attain.

The exception is the progressive hereditary forms of PN called CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth) disease. Do any of your family relatives have PN, and it is progressing?
