As a newcomer with diabetes2 as well as macular degeneration I must crave your indulgence for frequent typos etc. which you notice in my posts. I manage fairly well, on the whole,using a text-to speech-reader and an occasional spell check.
The problem I am posting about is a numbness of both feet and a severe numbness of my hands. Back in June I completed seven sessions of chemotherapy for a lung tumor and wondered whether it was a side effects of the chemo or whether the metformin maybe the cause. It could also be just an age thing, I am eighty-six at present so can't eliminate the possibility that perhaps my clogs are starting to pop.
Despite the great advances in medical science I still retain a suspicion that our local pillpusher looks to enjoy a Seychelles holiday by courtesy of his favourite drug company representative which leaves me with the need to search the Net.
 
I gather you spend a lot of time with a few health workers and it would be worth telling them about your new concerns.
