go for the exercise
yes, easy exercise makes a big difference for me.
I have little feet and hand exercises I do each day.
Do a google images for feet and hand exercises. Also lookup therapy putty and gaming exercises for the hand (they are the same exercises for hand pn).
I also do 15 minutes of balance exercises regularly since I was falling and bought a foam balance mat (works much better than pillows) ... also mix in some yoga balance poses. again ... google images balance exercises.
I did a hunt around for special mineral pools which I try to go to. I happen to have a salt water pool near me which I go and do exercises in. I got a waterproof sony walkman made for swimming and I listen to inspirational talks.
Also my local Rheumatism association gives lessons in the pool called "aqua jogging".
I also got a home stationary bicycle which makes a big difference and therabands. My partner and I now do easy cycling rather than long walking.
I do them near my computer and watch youtube videos on medical questions I have or I listen to podcasts (see neuropathydr.com).
Also lookup my post on my "bean bucket". This seems to keep the tingling down.
If I combine my exercise with listening to or watching stuff I'm into then I don't mind to do it.
I was sick in bed for a week with no movement and my PN really flared, so I could see that activity makes a big difference.
I don't walk too much though or the electric jabs start in. Also, don't do any big impact stuff.
