PN=Peripheral Neuropathy. I have it. It’s more a set of symptoms than a disease. I got the impression the doctors huff and puff and pontificate but really don’t have any idea what causes it. If the patient has high blood sugar, they will say that is the cause. If s/he has liver problems, then *that* is the cause. If none of the above, - sound of crickets. But all the above are just guesses.

With me and from my research I think with most everyone, it is more an irritation than a serious problem. Don’t expect the worst like total loss of sensation in the limbs - it is so rare that it should not be on the bottom of the list of things to worry about, but not even on it.

Treatment: socks. :-)

Actually that's encouraging and so far that's exactly what it is. Hopefully it won't progress any further than that.

Thanks expat1000, that's certainly reassuring! Treatment socks? Not sure that would help unless it went all the way up his legs. :-)

I have to go either completely barefoot, or put on slippers or shoes. Socks alone make my feet feel like I'm walking on a bumpy floor. Barefoot I can still feel hot/cold most of the time, which helps the 'sensation' of walking barefoot.

I'm also very "picky" on the shoes I wear. Some feel much better than others.
