Neuropathy with or without pain?

Hi Patricia @patriciaschulz1950, You are definitely not alone. Neuropathy is relentless, challenging and the unknown is the cause of a lot of our worries and concerns. I always try to stay positive but still have my days when it's easy to get discouraged. I also find comfort and hope by reading and learning from the struggles that others are going through. If you haven't already seen these discussions, it might be a good time to scan through them.

I'm sure @ray666, @njed, and others may have some thoughts or words of wisdom to share. When I get down in the dumpers I always revisit the Foundation for Neuropathy's page on Living Well - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/ to see if there is something that may help me get through the day. Sometimes it's just the act of reading and learning more to get your brain to not think about how you are feeling at the moment.

@johnbishop thanks John . I do know that I need to preoccupy my time - unfortunately I have reached that point of giving up - fighting it - I have scheduled an appointment with mental therapist while looking for a chronic pain support group. I LOVE the Foundation of Peripheral Neuropathy
Frustrating there are so many stories.
