Another Newcomer; happy to join the community.
 

I have autoimmune related peripheral neuropathy. The autoimmune cells attack nerves controlling particular muscle groups. The muscles then become very weak which can have a crippling effect. The first time this happened my left foot became immobile; I had to drag it along as I walked. Have had attacks in other areas since then. I'll have more to say later. Wishing the best for everyone!

Hi and Welcome Mea,

I know you will find good support on the PN forum. They can tell you all the tricks they've found to make this more livable. I just wanted to add that there are good options on braces if you are having frequent muscle deficits that make it hard to walk. A Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation doctor is a great resource for finding ways around limitations and can test and fit for you this kind of thing.
