Living with Neuropathy - Welcome to the group

Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, Jul 14, 2017

Welcome to the Neuropathy group.
This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet other people who are dealing with neuropathy. Let’s learn from each other and share stories about living well with neuropathy, coping with the challenges and offering tips.

I’m Colleen, and I’m the moderator of this group, and Community Director of Connect. Chances are you’ll to be greeted by volunteer patient Mentor John (@johnbishop) and fellow members when you post to this group. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.

We look forward to welcoming you and introducing you to other members. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one.
Let’s chat. Why not start by introducing yourself? What concerns would you like to talk about?

@andyjustin, It's OK to vent, sometimes that is all we can do to offload some of our struggles and pain. Not sure if you have ever tried meditation but there are other members that have mentioned it as being helpful. Here's a YouTube video example that might be helpful - Guided Meditation for Chronic Pain - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdr-jK4XrrM.

I understand the need to vent. I also don't know what each day will bring me. Add that to the lack of support from medical people, it's a struggle. I have started PT to try to strengthen my legs. But the lack of understanding from others is hard. It's been good to be a part of this site and know I'm not alone.
