Thank you all for your replies. I guess I just figured everyone was like me and had these symptoms all the time so hearing about "flares" confused me. I now know that is not the case.

Even though I have symptoms all the time, those in my feet get worse if my feet are really cold.

Sometimes things ease up during the day. I really hesitate to use the word better because I have before and then people think my neuropathy is gone - ha, don't I wish

Think after years of trying my thyroid values are finally normal, for now anyway. But I don't think Graves had anything to do with PN>

Natalie when I read your post what came to my mind was shingles too, like mrsD.

Thanks again for your replies!
