Recently the neuropathy has moved to my hands. A year ago I felt numbness in two fingers now I feel it in both hands. Not all the time just most of the time. The worst times are driving and on warm days. When I reach into my pocket for a coin I have to look to be sure what I grabbed, buttoning a shirt is a new challenge.
One thing I have discovered is that exercise makes a difference. I go to a gym three days a week and ride a road bike about three days a week. Everything feels better and less numb if I keep moving. I guess keeping the nerve impulses firing is good. Cool weather is also a plus. The numbness seems worse in warm weather and summer is coming, fortunately I live near the coast and coastal fog.
