I will be 69 soon.... but mine started when I was about 30 or so, and worsened during my pregnancy...due to hypothyroidism not properly diagnosed at the time. After medication in my 40's my PN reversed in my feet, except for a bit of numbness in two toe tips. I can still get flares in my hands and have to wear my wrist braces if I overdo my hand use. I cannot hand sew with a needle for over 10 minutes. I had to give up crochet when I was pregnant.
But I don't have symptoms in my hands on a daily basis anymore.
My PN today is relatively stable. Severe low pressure weather will flare pain for me, but I have escaped progression. My arthritis/lupus now is much more problematic for me. And I am prediabetic like many here now.
