@ogl Hi, I see that Ray (@ray666) has given you some very sound advice and most of us have an issue with acceptance of peripheral neuropathy and it isn't easy. You mention that you are working on it and that is great. I feel acceptance is an important step. I'm now 11 years in and have symptoms like Ray and John. How to manage your PN is vital and I now use a cane to help prevent falls. Try to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis and perhaps physical therapy would be helpful so discuss with your doctor. Please remember you are not alone in this and many of us live with PN. Look at what you can do and not what you can't do. Best to you! Ed

@njed I have PN and have always felt that it is best not to center one's life on any illness or disability, trying to find relief or a cure. As an example, I had a friend who had lung cancer. He actually went to the Philippines, then to Germany because he heard of special treatments and cures there. Nothing changed. Instead of centering his life around finding a cure, he could have enjoyed his wife, his kids, his grandchildren, traveled, whatever.
