It's kind of like when your toes would be waterlogged and prunny ..when I press my toes on the floor I feel it more.. I hear people talk about numbness a lot.. But it is a vague term..

Sometimes when I'm flaring it spreads to above my ankle, and it feels like my whole foot is wrapped in plastic wrap...or something like that.
At no point do I lose feeling in them. I can pass a pin prick test. If anything, I feel more than I should versus less.

Amazing! Both of these(
in red) are exactly how I first described my numbness to my doctor.
Of course, my PN is "idiopathic"...:shrug: I originally theorized that
Cryoglobulinemia was the culprit. But, I've cleared my Hep C infection, and thus the possible source of the Cryoglobulinemia, but the numbness persists.
