Peripheral Neuropathy 1/30/2020

My neuropathy is definitely… different. Once again, the numbness feels more intense, but it seems I have more feeling in the soles of my feet. I’m not sure what is causing this since there are so many variables. it could be acupuncture, or the Amiodarone from 7 weeks ago finally wearing off, or just general recovery/weirdness post heart surgery.

I don’t know if I like it better. I think it’s bothering more than before. I have my legs up on the dialysis chair but I want to sit normal since that seems to be better for the numbness. However, that will likely drop my blood pressure and it’s pretty low already. Arg, so many things to think about.

I fell asleep for a bit while typing this post. The machine took another blood pressure reading and it was 134/71. My feet are still numb however so I think I’ll sit upright for awhile to see if it helps.

Ugh, I just sneezed and my chest hurt real bad. Sitting with my legs raised also puts pressure on my chest. Sitting in a dialysis chair for three and a half hours three hours and 45 minutes is harder when your chest scar is acting up.
