My PN is better'n your PN! Naw, naw!

I wouldn't even be able to rank my PN compared to others. I have a combo of some pain and very poor balance.

I do consider myself somewhat lucky though because I do not have much pain at night. I think that would be unbearable.

I have wondered if PN from diabetes would be better than my idiopathic PN? Seems like most of the research and clinical trials focus on diabetic PN. Then I tell myself that thinking like that is petty and selfish.

I will just keep plugging along, doing what I can, with what I've been dealt. I keep on moving, doing my exercises, educating myself, and trying to stay positive.

Thanks for your post. It gave me something to think about. 😀

What sort of idiopathic PN do you have, @ohkay2? Mine is chronic idiopathic large-fiber axonal polyneuropathy, a real mouthful! The only time my PN gives me pain is when I fall (which, luckily, I haven't done very often). I suppose I might be persuaded to call my PN the "better" PN. I've shied away from calling it that because unsteadiness when I'm trying to go about ain't no bed o' roses, either. Poor balance can sure mess with trying to live a life full-out! It can make good times all yesteryear's good times, and that can be downright depressing. // Here's wishing you the best, @ohkay2! ––Ray (@ray666)
