I guess I don't have actual numbness, but a feeling of numbness.
Yeah, me too. Just in my feet, not the migrating patches you're afflicted with.

The only thing I can add is that when I'm active (a long session of hiking, jogging, or workout) and/or when I massage my feet it appears that the numbness is lessened. Maybe the increased blood flow has something to do with it -- flushing out natural metabolic wastes, increasing oxygenation of tissue? Just rambling thoughts.

And of course it may be a placebo effect -- I very much want to be able to lessen the symptoms by exercise and massage, so I "convince" myself that they help. If you know what I mean.

But my neuropathy isn't your neuropathy! Different onset, different etiology.
