Default Grasping at ideas

As my PN progresses the loss of feeling to my feet was not as worrying as loosing my right hand. Over the years I have become very attached to it & wish to do all I can to retain it as a usable essential. While I can still walk round on my strange feeling feet it's unsettling realising that I now have to be careful how I pick things up. Even typing this is becomming more difficult.
I find that keeping my finger tips moist helps to turn pages & pick things up.
I had been using my wifes hand cream, but got to wondering if there was something else that may help to stimulate the nerves. I found some Vicks Vaporub that was beyond it's better buy, & are currently using that. It seems to stay on a bit longer but it stinks of cause.
Any other ideas?
