I’m just seeing this email now. I had ovarian cancer and endured a six hour surgery. After this surgery I got an autoimmune disease called GBS which affects the nerves as well. So between the chemo and this it was a double reaction to my nerves resulting in severe neuropathy. Because I was in the hospital for so long my feet dropped as well and are irreparable now. I can’t stand or walk alone without my walker. The good thing is I do not have the pain some have. I have severe numbness in my hands and feet and that comes with its own problems. My husband died of dementia on June the sixth so I’m kept busy now settling the estate.
I feel sorry for all those out there suffering from this painful, debilitating disease. I’ve had it now for a little over five years and I’ve accepted the fact that there is no cure for this when a lot of damage has been done to the nerves so I do my best to move on with my life. Really, what is the alternative?
