Hi wildcovey, If you lurk and read you will evemtually get a picture of how people manage their symptoms. Do you know your B-12 number? 400+ is recommended. This could be associated w/ exhaustion and muscle funtion. Also if i remember right there is a lot of anti-siezure medications used for nerve pain.(Gabapentine). Not so much anti-depressants for depression. I am currently ramping down to see if I can get off Gabapentin as it didn't do me much good initially. If you have tenderness on top of your feet(maybe at night) I can recommend Morton Epsom Salts Lotion. This info is all courtesy of Mrs.D and Dr. Smith and many others that given discoveries, failures and research to all of us here. I used to be unable to step up onto the sidewalk. Now I can without much difficulty(using a walker) so there is progress to be made.One of the hardest things to do is not worry about things that have not yet happened. You will read and learn to exercise to tolerance. You are doing the right things, so try to not worry about your future, What can you do to help yourself today? 'Cause that is the best for your family also. Best of luck Ken in Texas.
