Well it's about 12 Months since I updated this thread.
No further progression with my PN since then, which is good I suppose. I am still only taking Jarrow's Methyl B-12. I realize my symptoms are relatively minor compared to a lot of you guys, but I'm certain staying active is helping me a lot. I have cut down on my bike riding as the vibration wasn't helping my hands. The carpel tunnel was being stimulated. With the Winter coming on I have bought a "Total Gym" as recommended by Chuck Norris. This can be set up to do a variety of exercises at various levels & I use it every morning. Also I am forcing myself to take a decent walk at least once a week. I'm not talking about just round the block either. There is a reasonable size hill not far away which I go to the top of. Initially I had to force myself to do this & my feet felt terrible. Like having socks full of greasy sand. Also I was tending to stumble as my right ankle was loosing its strength. Then when I got hot my hands felt like they were inflated. I have been experimenting with meditation & find I can now almost ignore the feet discomfort while walking. Unfortunately I am not having the same success with my hands. If I keep them up by tucking the thumbs through my pack straps it helps a bit. Both my little fingers are now doing their own thing. They are almost totally numb & getting very weak. They tend to stick out from the others & get in the way. I am doing strengthening exercises on them to try & help them, but seem to be loosing the battle. It can be interesting putting gloves on. So I just thought I would share this with you guys & if there is anyone else who is at a same or similar stage of PN, I would like to hear from you. |
