I guess I am lucky in a sense. My neuropathy is in my feet but I don't have the burning that some folks have. I have what some call "foot drop". I have to lift my feet or my toes will drag the floor. I am wearing carbon fiber braces because I am so active I have broken 2 sets of regular plastic braces. I had stage 3 colon cancer 5 years ago and the doctors blame the chemo or radiation for the problem. I have been through tests and they cannot find any other problems. I have been taking meds for epilepsy for 45 years. It is controlled completely now but from what I have researched I really think that the medicine that completely stopped my seizures is the cause of my neuropathy. When I started taking keppra 10 years ago I started noticing a slight limp a couple years later. Things went downhill from there. Anyway, my doc that I see doesn't think that is the cause and I am not going to change meds. I am 62 now and still working. As they say, it is what it is....
