Summarize the following:
The feeling will come on gradually and may start to spread from your hands and feet up through your arms and legs. If your numbness, prickling, or tingling sensations do not have an obvious cause, such as sitting on your leg for too long or sleeping funny, you should talk to your healthcare provider.  If your feet are numb, it can change the way that you walk. Over time, the change can affect your body in other ways, such as causing foot deformities or pain from an uneven gait. You may also get blisters and sores around the affected areas of your feet because you cannot feel that you are walking unevenly. You may experience sharp, jabbing, throbbing, burning, or freezing pain caused from issues within your nerves and not due to an injury. If you’re experiencing pain for no reason, it could be neuropathy. Since your nerves are not responding properly to sensations, you may feel sensations more strongly than you did before. Although this is rare, it could mean that a light pat on the back feels painful to you, or that a hug ignites your pain receptors. If this is caused by neuropathy, it will likely be a recent development and not a lifelong issue with clumsiness. Consider if you’ve been bumping into doors and furniture more often lately, or if you’ve suddenly started to fall down or trip for seemingly no reason. When your motor nerves are affected by the neuropathy, you’ll experience muscle weakness and possibly paralysis because the nerve can’t appropriately communicate with your muscles. In late stages of neuropathy, you may have trouble moving around, picking things up, or even talking. If your autonomic nerves are affected, you may have trouble regulating your bodily functions. This includes telling your body to sweat when you get hot. Your body may not sweat as often, causing you to overheat. Though these symptoms alone could be caused by a variety of problems, if you have them in conjunction with other symptoms like numbness or pain, they may indicate neuropathy. Neuropathy causes nerve damage, so your nerves may not be able to send messages to your body to tell it when to go to the bathroom, when to process food, and when to stop those functions. It’s possible that you may experience the following symptoms:  Constipation Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting Indigestion Problems urinating Erectile dysfunction in men Lack of vaginal fluid in women If you have neuropathy, your body may be unable to regulate your heart rate and blood pressure, so it won’t be able to respond to changes in your activity levels. Your heart rate may remain high even when you are not exercising, and your blood pressure can quickly drop, causing you to feel dizzy. If you have dizziness or lightheadedness along with pain or tingling, it could be neuropathy. The dizziness and lightheadedness may be worse when you sit down or stand up.

summary: Watch for numbness, prickling, or tingling in your hands or feet. Notice if you have pain with no direct external cause. Consider if you have extreme sensitivity to touch. Look for a lack of coordination and a tendency to fall down. Notice muscle weakness and paralysis. Consider if you’ve become heat intolerant or are sweating less. Look for bowel, bladder, or digestive issues. Watch for dizziness and lightheadedness.


Summarize the following:
Take that one cup of raisins in the original recipe and cut it in half. Now figure out what you want to replace it with! The following options will all go nicely with the raisins, but you can just as easily substitute these ingredients for all of the raisins if you wanted to:  Chocolate chips or chunks (white and dark chocolate go particularly well) Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds Dried cranberries This thick, rich, and dark syrup matches beautifully with the spiced flavors of a good oatmeal raisin cookie. This fantastic cookie takes all of the joys of a good oatmeal raisin cookie and blasts it with a fresh, spiced, and always delicious burst of sweet Indian spices. Add the following spices and, if you're really feeling culinary, let the raisins steep in a cup of chai tea for 15 minutes as well:  1 teaspoon each of cardamom, cinnamon, ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon each of ground ginger, nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Both sweet and savory, the addition of vanilla salt, often sold as "vanilla fleur de sel," will bring out a richness and slight saltiness that will elevate the cookies from simple desert to decadent snack. The texture will stay roughly the same, but you'll get the sweet, slightly tropical touch of coconut flavor that will take any guests by welcome surprise. You can add as much or as little as you want, though at least 1-1/2 cups of oats is best to help the cookies keep their shape. You won't need the hand mixer, and can instead mix by hand. Add the following ingredients together and mix until it forma a paste, then mix in everything else like normal:  1/2 cup applesauce 4 tablespoons almond butter 4 tablespoons ground flax seed
summary: Add a little more than just raisins to the batter. Add 1-2 tablespoons of molasses, removing the corresponding amount of brown sugar, for a more tangy, maple taste. Spice up your cookies with an invigorating chai spice blend. Add 1 tablespoons of a vanilla salt, or triple the salt in the recipe, and add dark chocolate for an incredibly subtle treat. Consider adding in a cup of shredded coconut in place of a cup of the oats. Make vegan oatmeal raisin by substituting out the butter for flax, almond butter, and applesauce.
