Hubby has been at the end of his rope with his job. He wonders if his neuropathy is worsening or if his blood pressure and cholesterol meds are making his hands and feet hurt. Some of his fingers are more numb than usual. I feel for him, and help him with his back pain by giving him arnica rubs, etc, but don't know what else to do. He's temporarily stopped the meds I mentioned. He's irritable. I don't know how to help relieve him in that respect, either, other than to tell him to take a lot of breaks during the day. I make him yummy meals and have been trying to keep the house neater and cleaner than usual, and keep my own moods in check.
I wish we lived in a country where the covid 19 wasn't so out of control. It's just horrible, and I believe the situation will worsen in many ways. So many states have case numbers heading up up up and yet there are so many people in denial about the urgency of the matter. Human nature, to a degree, frustration, another degree, and misinformation, very unfortunately.

Hey, BirdDancer, I somehow managed to completely miss why you lost the XR dose. What happened with that? I thought you really, really relied heavily on that morning dose.
I also have a pretty sig. neuropathy and now, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, which I feel is related, an off-shoot. Anyway, I feel for him. Is he on Lyrica or Neurontin or anything?
Due to a broad campaign and policy of science denial, many states and our federal government have created conditions that will result in COVID hanging around much, much longer than it would have otherwise. Fauci should have been making all decisions on this crisis, as any thoughtful physician or nurse would freely agree. In short, Republicans' conscious decision to care more about Trump's reelection than Americans dying of this illness will result in tens of thousand of additional and unnecessary deaths and greater economic harm. And before you whine at me, as I have said before, I am a lifelong Republican.
