Has Anyone Been Diagnosed With Peripheral Neuropathy?
I've had PD since 2005. Seems every year I have a few new symptoms. This past month my toes have been numb & my feet are always tingling. Yesterday, ny neuro informed me that I now have Peripheral Neuropathy. The nerves in my feet are now reacting to the PD. So, now I have symptoms from my head to my feet. I was prescribed Gabapentine 3 X a day. I hope it takes some of the discomfort away.
I had that, I had lost most feeling in my left foot and my left hand tingled and were numb all the time. I went to an acupuncturist because I didn't want to take another med. He fixed the problem. After 2 sessions with him all the feeling came back in my foot and my left hand doesn't tingle anymore. I continue to go 1x a month to continue treatment. My doc said it may not work when I told her I was going to try it, but it worked great for me.
I had success with yoga. I had numb toes that responded to the stretching poses. An added benefit was the calming atmosphere. Good luck!
Again, exercise seems to be the answer. I practice my walking in a swimming pool with or without a current, analyzing each tiny motion. This has helped reverse the neuropathy too
I hope so too. My husband's feet ache and he likes me to massage them
I think that is what my husband has. Numbness in his fingertips. He says it feels like he has minute bits of fluff or tissue or strands of fine string or cotton. But there is nothing there. Must be the sensation. His toes and feet also numb with the numbness moving up his legs. He has had Gabarpentin in the past for his back problem but it was removed from his medication as he now had Duodopa infusion gel. Still waiting for another date for the back surgery. Its been 4 weeks since it was cancelled at the hospital. ( had the gown and little hat on ready to go). Not sure when it will get done now. All comes down to the availability of a High dependency bed post surgery. Both not at all happy.

My Doctor Prescribed GOCOVRI But I Can’t Find A Pharmacy That Carries It. Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find It? Thanks
I Am Being Considered For D.B.S Would Be Interested To Hear Any Positive Or Negative Views.
