Oh my gosh, I'm sooooo sorry that happened!!!!!!

Darn it! I just hate what not feeling puts us in line for!

And what is so galling is that there's no feeling when we need it, but a lot of pain we don't need. (though I have to admit my pain levels are way down, except for when there is stress.)

Have you tried taking a LOT more Methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin in shots? It was when I had a shot a day and sometimes two for several months that my PN was dramatically affected for the better.

There's a neat post on this forum about getting the hydroxy form in Australia without a prescription at the drug store... maybe they call it "chemist" like in England. I forget.


Boy, not being able to walk is the PITS!!!!!!!

I am so careful now... Last year there were months and months on end when I couldn't walk... so I'm really sympathetic!!!!!!

Dang! That doesn't sound like one bit of fun! I hope that toe heals quickly so you are up and around again!

I'm so sorry. On Silverlady's post we were just talking about balance and walking. I hope you heal quickly.

I have been trying to wear my shoes even in the house. I think it gives me more support and makes me walk better. Random ? why do some people feel only certain things? Is it just how the pn is?Hey joe are you in pt?

i did pt about 4 years ago, i walk ok and as much as i can though every step is painful. I still have the strength in my legs( maybe why i bang into things so hard). I think i really just have to protect my feet more....balance is a big problem too, so im really careful when i can see well because of darkness.
