I guess what I am thinking is that there is a difference between an "episode" and a "flare". Episodes are something many of us pass through. They are worth mentioning and probably seeking some answers to the question "has anyone else had this?"

The fire in my abdomen was like that......I needed help to deal with the discomfort and I also needed answers as to why my neuropathy was just hanging out in my stomach. I never got any answers and so I stopped asking. Every once in awhile, a member will ask about the fire in their belly. So is "fire in the belly" something every newly diagnosed neuropathy patient will eventually encounter? If so....how do we know that it is coming and help spread the word about it so that others can say....."that is something I know about.....and it will not hang around."

What episodes or flares have you been dealing with recently?

May you be free of suffering (at least from that last flare) and the causes of suffering.
