My neuropathy started in my arms.
Being such they suspected myasthenia gravis. (nope)

I couldn't lift them, and had trouble holding them up.
I would also drop cans of soda onto my computer, which led to me drinking from covered bottles through the summer months.

My legs were ok, just some minor slowing when I walked, which they thought could have been my topamax which I take for migraine headaches.

I also had difficulty chewing, and would tire easily with it.

And strange headaches that were soo painful that I wanted to smash my head into something. (IDK)

It did eventually wear away, and then my feet became more affected by Christmas time.

My walking became less stable. I became very dizzy, and walked like a drunk.
I depend on shopping carts to get around.

Lifting my left foot.. well, sometimes it just won't lift.

My feet will go completely numb, to the point where I will literally beat on them and not feel a thing.
(this goes to a little above my ankles)

IDK if this is what you would call progression? But, its got me going back to neuro.
