I think many of us are in the throes of constantly dealing with chronic pain. You never know when it will get worse, it’s hard to focus on anything else and everyone tells you how great you look. Medications do not work. While I have a ridiculously obvious reason for my neuropathy, it took 4 years to get a doctor to actually listen. In which time the progression of nerve damage was severe and likely irreversible. I too was so full of life and energy. Not now. This is not for the faint of heart. And to think 20+ million Americans have neuropathy. We spend nearly zero dollars researching one of the biggest health issues in this country. Anyway. That’s my ten cents 🙂

PS - I have not given up. And I never will.
