It’s December! The temperature is falling, the christmas lights are on the house, the trees are up and the stockings are hung. Joy and happiness fill homes and the anticipation of presents to be open sit wrapped beautifully below the tree. This month has exciting opportunities to be surrounded by family and friends. However, if you deal with pain from the symptoms of neuropathy, the precious times with family and friends can be far in between.

Not really sure if you are dealing with symptoms related to neuropathy?
Basic symptoms of neuropathy include: tingling and numbness of hands and feet, stabbing and jabbing pain, extreme sensitivity to touch, burning sensations, and muscle weakness.

This holiday season, here at Neuropathy Treatment Clinic of Oklahoma, we want to make sure that you get all the help you need, in becoming pain free from neuropathy. There is no need to wait until the new year when you can get started right now. By calling one of our offices, we will get you set up for a consultation with one of our medical staff. During your consultation, we will go over current symptoms that you are experiencing and look over past medical records to make sure that our unique medical treatment is right for you.

With this month in full swing, we want to make sure that you have everything you need to enjoy time with your precious family and especially those grandkids. We have provided below a holiday activities list.

Baking and Cooking

• Baking sugar cookies and cutting them out with cookie cutters is always a big hit during the holiday season. Don’t like sugar cookies, baking any cookies from scratch is always a big winner.
• Cooking a favorite recipe for lunch/dinner, gives your grandkids the opportunity to learn how to follow a recipe and also makes memories that will last a lifetime.

Puzzles & Card Games (all you need is a deck of cards)

• Puzzles (board puzzles, word search, crossword, & sodoku)
• Card Games: (Crazy 8’s, Hearts, Go Fish, & Slap Jack)
• Arts and Crafts are always fun during the holidays; whether it is making a snowman out of toilet paper rolls or painting and creating ornaments everyday materials.
• Decorate a gingerbread house.

Movie Day

• Cuddle up and watch your favorite Christmas movie, maybe even add some popcorn and hot cocoa with marshmallows.

Teach them your hobby

• Do you like to sew, knit, put together car sets, or anything in between? Grandkids love learning new things and what is better than learning grandma and grandpa’s hobby?
