Shortly after Don was diagnosed,over 14 years ago, his right foot was numb. At that time we started on some food supplements and within one months time all the feeling came back. He hasn't had that problem since. He does seem to have frequent pain, but I think alot of that is due, in addition to the Pd, to the kind of work he does(ranching).
