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.

And to say the least, I had to invent my own 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 found that there is NO real solution and cure for PN as its been said its related to the diabetes and to only constantly maintain glucose levels and A1C. Sadly, I realize that PN will NEVER go away ultimately and prescriptions are only a waste of time and lots of money.

Most importantly, doctors, specialist, etc. will only prescribe injections and pills which are simply 'Band-Aids' to help with the discomfort of PN. As a result, I now have enormous and outstanding medical bills ever since but will have them until the day I am buried.

Finally, 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, I want to educate and encourage people please maintain your diabetes with insulin, meds, etc. , to possibly lower your glucose and A1C before your PN starts to climb upwards in your body starting with your feet.…. If not, you will definitely regret plus experience substantial and enormous pain each day.....PN is almost like a deadly cancer but with cancer, it will eventually chaufer you to the heavens but with PN, there is no chaufer and you will need to learn plus live with the diabetic symptoms and PN especially nerve pains.
