Anyone else find they struggle with neuropathy as the seasons change? My hand feels so stiff and my toes feel like I could snap them off

That’s great Dr Nik Think we all suffer a bit with SAD. Also struggle, a little, when the weather changes for the better. Got my thermal socks on today though. And I’ll try vitamin d too

@Ruth Harrison opposite for me. Feet are cold and stiff. And even the duvet resting on my feet is painful.

Me too Ruth. It’s amazing how you can put things together when you have conversations with others. This is the reason this group is so important.
Hello from NROL
Morning 👋 Thanks for the welcome. Nice to look round here, I'm a Stroke specialist Speech and Language Therapist by background currently working as the project lead for the Online Neurotherapy (NROL) service in Cheshire & Mersey. Always curious to see what online communities and information our Stroke Survivors can access 🙂

Hadn’t seen this originally. NROL is a great scheme.
🧠 Small Steps, Big Impact: Making Brisk Walking a Habit
Getting 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week is linked to a reduced risk of stroke. And one of the easiest ways to get started? Brisk walking. It’s simple, free, and surprisingly powerful for your brain and heart health. 🚶‍♀️ Why Brisk Walking Deserves a Spot in Your Routine: - Gets your blood flowing and lowers blood pressure - Clears your mind and eases anxiety - Improves your cholesterol profile - Helps manage weight and blood sugar 💬 How do you know if you're walking briskly? You should be able to talk, but not sing - that’s the brisk zone! 📱 Want a simple way to stay on track? Try the Active 10 App Not sure if your walking counts as brisk? Or just need a bit of motivation? The NHS-recommended Active 10 app tracks your pace, helps you set goals, and celebrates your progress. It’s free, easy to use, and surprisingly satisfying. I was curious about my own walking habits at work, so I downloaded it. After a busy 12-hour shift, I checked the app- -only 3 minutes of brisk walking. So disappointing! I felt constantly on the move, but the app reminded me: pace matters. ❓ Have you ever used Active 10 or another tracker? What did you discover about your walking habits?

I find this very difficult. Was always very active with my job. Now I struggle doing a month what I used to do on a Saturday night. Got a bike but my balance is way off. Enjoy swimming, but most public pools are so cold that I’m put off

@Malgorzata Wojcik it’s the biggest adaptation. I’m starting to put weight on again now though.
