When the ‘pins and needles’ feeling doesn’t go away: Finding relief from neuropathy
Five years ago, the numbness in Gwen’s feet was so pervasive, she needed to make sure her shoes were well-laced; otherwise, she wouldn’t feel it if her shoes fell off. She began to fall at least a few times a year, twice ending up in the hospital with a concussion or other fall-related injuries. She started to use a walker, then at times a wheelchair, to get around. Over time, her quality of life diminished to the point that the thought of falling asleep and not waking up sounded like a relief. “I wasn’t suicidal. I was just unhappy,” said Gwen, who lives in Traverse City, Mich. One day, Gwen was watching TV when she came across a commercial for a neuropathy program at Shift Health Center in Traverse City. She immediately recognized the symptoms that flashed on the screen: numbness or tingling in hands, arms, feet or legs; lack of coordination; a sharp jabbing, throbbing, freezing or burning pain; lack of coordination; and extreme sensitivity to touch.
Project Feed the Kids seeks donations to install cameras at meal coolers
TRAVERSE CITY — Project Feed the Kids’ mission is to get food to the needy, but some of that food is going to waste. They make over 3,000 meals a week to help combat food insecurity, with five cooler locations where people can take meals as they need. However, people have been throwing food in the trash or leaving bags with only a few items left in them. To help mitigate the issue, they are asking for donations to install security cameras at the coolers. “The new cameras will give us the ability to see inside of the camera and around them as well, like a whole 360 view. We’re hoping that will deter some things and give us the insight to see what’s really going on,” said Jason McQueer, co-founder. “We will also be able to check, to know when the coolers are empty.”

New York Times bestselling author visits students prior to National Writers Series
