I have severe large fiber axonal peripheral neuropathy in my feet, legs past my knees, and hands/wrists, starting to go up my arms, which is caused by a massive, long term toxic exposure. I have it for almost 17 years now. Numbness and loss of balance, difficulty walking any distance, plus diminished dexterity in my hands are my main symptoms now. I still have a broken bones feeling when standing or walking even though my feet are dead numb. It started off as numbness in my two big toes. In the past I have had more frequent burning, squeezing, shocking, throbbing sensations, though they have diminished with the increasing numbness. I take vitamins and supplements to try to slow down the progression. At this point, recovery is a moot point.
