Progressive Neuropathy [View all]

Well. I've diagnosed with progressive neuropathy and there is no cure. Right now, cannot walk without using a walker. Bottom legs burn all the time. This will lead to me not being able to walk at all and being in a wheelchair. After that, either the neuropathy or a opportune infection will take me. It could be a year, or ten years. Thank goodness, I have a great family. Just asking for any advice, prayers, good vibes, etc. My entire medical now is trying to keep me as comfortable as possible. Scared shitless.
