"I can feel the water."
That's what she told me this week, and it's been a long road to get here.
When she started in January, her nerve testing showed 64% sensory loss across her feet and lower legs. She couldn't reliably tell hot from cold. Stepping into a bath or shower meant guessing, and that's how people with neuropathy get burned without knowing it.
Her progress wasn't quick. There were months when it felt like nothing was changing, and she had every reason to quit. She didn't.
Here's what her re-exam showed:
🔥 Heat sensing: 52% → 100% of normal
❄️ Cold sensing: 47% → 72% of normal
📉 Overall sensory loss: 64% → 37%
She still has work to do, and she knows it. But feeling the water on her feet again is the kind of win that changes everyday life.
Not everyone with neuropathy responds fast. That's exactly why I test every patient with 7 nerve tests and re-test every 90 days. When progress is slow, you can still see it in the numbers, and that's what keeps people going until they feel it.
If you've been told to "just live with it," get your nerves measured first.
