There's nothing with the hands (yet). My understanding is that neuropathies are length dependent and that hands don't typically get involved until there's leg issues almost to the top of you thigh (typically where your fingers tips are when you're standing up.)

Mine started in my hands, with ulnar neuropathy 10 yrs ago. About 2 years after my hands, then it started in my feet with numb toes, burning feet. It took me 6 yrs to figure out what was going on, and I started taking B12, which has made a huge difference. My neuropathy happened because of celiac/gluten intolerance, and going years without a diagnosis. Ten years after the diagnosis of carpal tunnel, my toes do not go numb, my feet don't burn too often, my hands have improved some, and I am not on pain meds. With luck, you can slow the progression, sometimes stop it.
