Addressing the psychological impacts of neuropathy

Hello,
I have recently been diagnosed after over one year from initial onset. I see the neurology specialist tomorrow in fact. I am 67 years old and the neuropathy has been progressing very fast. And unfortunately, we all know there is no current cure for it and the concrete causes remain unknown. Indeed, the psychological aspect is really difficult especially in my case as I am dealing with everything all alone even though there's supposedly a family around me.
All I can really suggest is for you to capture the good moments and hold them as special so they can carry you through the dark ones.
Best of luck and take care.

I know it’s hard to make family friends and loved ones really understand how debilitating neuropathy can be it, invade your thoughts, your body, and your soul and I’m beginning to believe that it’s impossible to make people really understand the weight the burden we all suffer at times I believe that’s why these chat rooms are very important. I know it makes me feel less alone and regardless to the façade I put on to all those around me not letting on how uncomfortable my symptoms can be thinking that they will think that I’m just crying wolf bottom line if you don’t have neuropathy and it’s many forms you can’t understand it at least that’s the way I see it
