Living with Neuropathy

I was in Viet Nam during the 60’s and lucky enough to be working with my brother in the Seabees. We were involved with agent orange not knowing what it was or the side effects later on in life.We had work to do and that had to be done.Now later on in life we have sugar,I’m on pills and brother on the needle and also have neuropathy My feet are always burning, cold even when its 90 degrees outside,always feel wet and I put covers on at night it hurts when the covers rub my toes.Many nights I can’t get to sleep because of the pain I have to lay there 4-5 hours and try to sleep.

I have been going to the VA and they have ran many tests from x-rays to electric shock treatment.I was told by the doctor there was no treatment but some medications would help but not cure.My major problem is its starting to effect my work being on my feet constantly.The VA did give me 10% disability for each foot and still fighting them for more but a losing battle fighting the government.

I have been to the doctor because I am starting to get blurred vision and when I first get up in the morning and urinate the smell is so bad I have to open the windows. The doctor said that’s all part of diabetes and drink plenty of water.

I have tried medicine for the neuropathy and they haven’t worked yet.I also have high blood pressure acid reflux and skin cancer but I do get 40% disability from the government.

I love to play golf and walk 18 holes but I can only walk about 3-4 lately so if anyone knows about anything I can do please help…
