Increasingly Difficult to Accept Peripheral Neuropathy

@fisbo - We have all been there at one time or another but it is not a good place to be. I don't have any magic words or treatments that are going to cure your neuropathy. I'm no longer who I was either. I have difficulty walking and doing many other things that were fun when I was in my 50s and younger. Growing old with PN is the pits to say the least.
What helped me was to not focus on what I couldn't do anymore or the health issues I struggle with on a daily basis. Instead, I try to focus on things I specifically can do. One of those things for me was to examine my surroundings and find something everyday that I enjoy. Sometimes it's watching one of nature's little critters bouncing around looking for food and sometimes it's just helping a friend or neighbor.

@johnbishop you say that you cannot do the things you could do in your 50s? I am really struggling with balance and pain in my hands and feet. Would you mind if I ask you how long you had pn before you had trouble walking.

Es verdad que hay que mirar y descubrir nuevos intereses, sin nostalgia por los que perdimos ( algo poco fácil ) .Pero Fisbo nos habla de algo distinto: el dolor.Quienes tenemos la suerte de sufrir una neuropatía sin dolores,tal vez no lo comprendamos.Los comentarios de quienes lo sufren,hablan de dolores muy intensos.Y todos van en busca de mitigar ese padecimiento que creo que es casi permanente.Deseo que en este y todos los casos encuentren eso tan buscado o por lo menos un comienzo de alivio.No perder la esperanza de encontrar esa luz que buscamos.
