@joannef20 Hi, Joanne, I too, do not go out very often, just go to Dr’s appointments. I have Neuropathy in my right arm, along with a torn rotator cuff for the second time, this leaves me with absolutely NO use of this arm, I look to others like I am just fine, I also put on a very happy face when I do go out. I cannot do so many things I want to do. My husband does help me dress, shower, comb my hair, cut my dinner when needed, cooks the meals and he does all the shopping, drives me to all appointments I may have. I am fortunate to have him, I do agree with you about him not understanding how severe the pain be at any given time. We don’t have any children or family close by to help, we do have friends, but, I don’t want to ask for help. My biggest ask would be for all levels of medical care would care more about their patients and try to find the cure for “NO CURE” Diseases, NEUROPATHY, ARTHRITIS, & OSTEOPOROSIS and others and stop giving us medications that cause Dementia!
