Thanks you, that is what I thought. Newest data seems to show that people with COPD tend to develop sub-clinical axonal neuropathy and I have wondered if it just becomes acute. But it is always associated with increased medication dose and also occurs when I take some of the other meds known to cause neuropathy such as fluoroquinolones but so far the symptoms while I am on the meds have not lingered afterwards.

I am relatively out of shape after a hard, inactive year but was moving furniture last week so I don't think I am too weak from that. Thanks again, any ideas appreciated.
