PN in the feet and calves

Hello, Fala (@fala)

I've yet to find the "perfect" doctor for my particular brand of PN. It's not that I've met with many, only a half dozen or so. Each begins with a sincere willingness to help. Still, that willingness starts to fade, replaced by regret (too easily mistaken by some patients as indifference) as PN's unsolvability raises its ugly head.

As some here on Connect know, I'm currently recovering from sepsis. If anyone had told me I'd one day find myself dealing with a condition more troublesome than my PN, I'd not have believed them––but today I would! Sepsis has laid me lower than my PN ever had. I find myself longing to get back to merely dealing with my PN. (I just used the word "merely." "Merely," and PN? That's bizarre in itself.)

I wish you the very best, Fala. Better days lie ahead. I know they do.

Cheers!
Ray

Doctors and hospitals are a death sentence. Septic and no excuse but dirty equipment and bad help................

Hi Ray,
It's nice to hear from you. I am SO sorry to hear you had Sepsis. At least there is a recovery from that, unlike PN! Bless you, so sorry you had to go through that! For whatever reason, my pain from PN has increased in the past few weeks. I know the pain travels further up my calves on a steady basis, this this is new... gimmie a break! Before I took any medication for PN pain, I had to use a walker to take some of the pressure off my feet. I always have to go to the "It could be worse" thought! It's a nasty disease no matter how it effects us all. Best wishes!
