Usually they are ok, but if I use them alot, or say my right one alot I have to go back to my splints for a while. (I've been doing a sewing project...very small but enough to set off my right hand).

Mrs. D.
Sitting next to me at the PN Support Group meeting last thursday was this brand new member. She has been diagnosed with Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy. She wore wrist braces. Half her body is numb, she has had foot surgeries. She wears these Darko wound oft loading shoes (that were only $129.99 and impressed us to no end and they were solid shoes, not cushiony things). And they have no idea why this person has this condition.
I asked her "do you know your B-12 Level?" and she said "I have no idea, they never tested me, I'll speak to my doctor about that"
See how you help people Mrs. D.
Everybody at that meeting will soon know their B-12 levels.
Not that this is a done deal, but at least they might be able to rule out B-12 deficiency.
