n,

Would you be so kind as to explain a bit, to me, about

peripheral neuropathy & possibly what it feels like? I

understand the term, but not really what it might actually be,

or feel like. Sort of like I didn't know that I was having

double vision, until Sharon told me that the description of my

"eyes trying to cross" was actually double vision. Then finding

out that what I described to the doctor as a "burning sensation"

on top of my right foot was actually nerve pain..

I know that I experience a lessening of sensation on both my

legs..(ie. if I cut myself shaving, I don't know that I did

until the nicked part hits the water and starts to sting, or I

see blood running.. would that be a description of peripheral

neuropathy possibly?

At this point--peripheral neuropathy from feet to knees--

I also have secondary progressive.

At least it is moving very slowly.

Love to you, Donna and to all of coping with our fascinating

Thank you n!!!

Now I know that I've also got peripheral neuropathy.. definitely

from the knees down.. and one of the reasons I run around

barefooted inside the house.. (not a good thing if one of the

mutts decides to drop their munchies on the floor).. at least I

can kinda sorta know where my feet are from feel.. but I've been

watching the ground while walking for quite a few years now.. so

I KNOW where my feet are.. LOL..

Maybe I should ask my neurologist for a copy of his records.. to

see what he knows that I don't.. LOL
