Glorious sunny, dry and 70 degree day her in the States and my neuropathy is horrific. I never see a correlation with weather but if I did I would sooooo move to a climate more suited.

What part of the US are you in? Here in VA we get 4 seasons, with a pretty mild winter, and it is the cold that affects me the most. My legs get stiff and my balance goes right wonky when its below 0C.

I am way north and east of you Icehouse. Personally I love the snow and even the cold damp winters I welcome. Our autumns are lovely and spring too. It is the hot humid summers that I crawl into hibernation, but actually we had a wonderful summer here so can't complain. Despite any weather I see no change in my PN.

I am attempting to quit the smokes today. Perhaps I need more sobriety time before I try but this neuropathy is crippling and everything I read and have been told is that quitting the smokes can only help. I am desperate for improvement yet I fell like I am only getting worse. Wish me luck on the ciggies.

Go for it, giving up smoking is easier if you have a purpose

Good luck with quitting the smokes SC.

For me, knowing that it was good for my health (not to mention my bank balance), was motivation.

I started smoking again when I quit drinking. I was a pack a day till about 2 years ago when I made the conscious decision to only smoke in the mornings and at night. I am slowly getting bored of it and now I am about 5-6 a day....

I would love to quit but I kinda like it....a double-edged sword.

BUT, if it's a decision that you are 100% behind then DO IT!
