The Neurologist says that we will probably never know what caused the nerve damage, but the nerves are beginning to heal themselves.

He's not sure to what degree they will heal.

The problem I am left with is caused by cold and by draughts. I get pains, ranging from mild through to debilitating.

This means that I have to use a walking stick (much better than before, when I was using a zimmer/wheelchair combo so I'm grateful for the fact I can walk at all).

The degree of limitation in walking varies from barely being able to to walking pretty easily, and all because of draughts and cold.

At home I sit in a sleeping bag, which I find helps. I find having a warm bath before bed helps too.

Has anyone else got this problem, and if so what ways have you found that help this?

Many thanks.
