Hi there @medieval ,I started reading the posts on Connect in January, trying to find info for my wife, a PN sufferer. I spent 2 weeks just reading reading reading. After sort of "getting to know" people (many come and then disappear but several members post pretty consistently) I began posting myself, tentatively at first, but with more confidence after interacting for a while. I have learned a great deal. Also I have tried to help out others where I can (my strengths are more with trying to lend compassionate support since technically I am still a novice regarding neuropathy). I have made a few good friends here also. I hope you continue to find this forum a help to you and hope you will stay and contribute. Like anything, you get out what you put in, would be how I view it. Anyway, a very warm welcome to you and I hope your neuropathy does not continue to trouble you too much. Best, Hank
