One question I have-I plan on starting an exercise program. I can walk, so I'd rather do that instead of biking so I can get the weight bearing benefits for my bones also. I know I need to start slowly. Does anyone have any advice?

I also would like to start some mild yoga/pilates.

I find I hardly notice the neuropathy when I am moving around.
Hello ellsac, I am trying to wean myself from a walker and found in my town a recreation center that is subsidized by the parks & recreation dept. There is the equipment choices a person needs and water Zumba classes for non weight-bearing work also. Carving out time for your own benefit is a good way IMHO to reduce the stress that bombards us all. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Thanks, Ken.

I think you are absolutely right. I am an artist, and also an avid reader, so I plan to make sure these two things are priorities for me as far as managing stress.

Default Yes, and I am sure--
--Dr. Chin would tell you to exercise to tolerance (he certainly did me).

(Agreed--one of the best neurologists out there for investigating neuropathy, and one of the few who has a sense of humor.)

Yes, Glenn...after I had all the tests done (especially the nerve conduction test-youch), I said to him "wow, they just give you guys all the fun tests." haha we both had quite a chuckle about that...it is refreshing to have a knowledgeable doctor who can also laugh with you.
