Energy still improving as is arm strength and ROM; actually tossed a lacrosse ball around at a picnic yesterday. Neuropathy in fingers getting somewhat better; capsaicin cream helps the hyper-sensitivity and allows me to type/write more comfortably. Discomfort in toes remains intermittent and seems somewhat position-dependent, being worst supine; I have started 500 micro-grams of B12 daily, although the blood tests are a bit inconclusive about there being any real deficiency; pain and tingling cost be some sleep; tingling no longer restricted to toes and fingers but also parts of torso and head. I have twice played my piano-accordion in the least week in the early evening and both nights were difficult ones in terms of nerve discomfort; correlation unsure. I still take 200-400 mg Neurontin nightly, although its effect is not really clear. Driving is going OK, although I have not tried anything over 25-30 minutes yet. Candace and I have definitely decided to remain in our rural home for another year; her plan is still to be in NYC starting in late August.
