Thank you, Ed!

I have molded myself to ignore the PN pain, nerve lightning strikes throughout the body especially feet and not to mention, major discomfort with everyday activities. It is so difficult to hold a job and tends to be a constant search and way of life for me. Before I know it, I may wind up in the streets and/or living out of my car because of my medical situations.

Also, I had to invent my own extra feet and shoe paddings and/or wear double cushion socks to ease pain with walking, exercise, etc.. I am 55 and figured with years of all doctors, specialist, emergency rooms, hospitals, clinics, etc.. I also found that there is NO real solution for PN as its been said its related to the diabetes II 'and' to better maintain glucose levels. Sadly, I found that PN will NEVER go away ultimately and prescriptions are only a waste of time and lots of money.

To say the least, doctors, specialist, etc. only prescribe Band-Aids to help with the discomfort of PN. Now, I have outstanding and enormous medical balances ever since but will have them until the day I am buried. AND I feel very sorry for those individuals that do not have medical insurance. You're dead!

I am still insulin dependent to reduce glucose levels to 250-300 as I had reached before into 600s and 700s but again will NEVER be normal and enjoy everyday life.

And finally, only want to educate and encourage people maintain your diabetes with insulin, meds, etc. BEFORE your PN kicks in....You will definitely regret it!!!

Again, thanks for your response.
