Hi,
Do you take Lyrica or Gabapentin or on a Viatmin regime. Did you ever go to Physical Therapy and take long walks to build up strength and endurance.
Thirteen years is a long time to have this monster condition. I noticed in the 8 months I have had it at times it's fine and plenty of times it's not especially at night. During the day when I am active it's is ok most of the time at the day wears on I start feeling the burning and numbness more and the hurt and my legs ache not everyday but throughout the week.
That is great it's is on a slow boat I hope I am that way too with the progression. I noticed lately my ankles feel numb maybe it's crawling up. However I was diagnosed with sensory polyneuropathy from feet to knee.
Thanks for sharing.
