This is war. I am a warrior. I must fight now. Playtime is over. I must steel myself to do battle with neuropathy. I may not win the physical war with it, but I can do my best to achieve victory in the psychological war. I will not roll over and die. I will not go quietly into that Good Night. This thing might be bigger and stronger than me, but by God I'll get a few licks in, somehow. Researching.

Thank you. I needed that positive mindset today. I was and have been in the last couple of days going to a dark place. Your wisdom reset my day.

Hi @erichendrix -- I love your response!!! It really applies to all health issues or any of life's challenges! I'm going to write that down as a new favorite quote to be shared with anyone I know that is having any kind of issue. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!! 🙂

You gave me courage. As much pain as I’m in. I talk to my therapist and she says slow and calm. I fall down so much and showers and bath are so painful. I can’t eat anything everything goes through me. I’m trembling because my psychiatrist says it’s stress and anxiety. The trembling is a side effect of the medicine for anxiety and stress. I just want to relax and not hurt anymore.

Love your thoughts! Very inspirational for me

My hand drop has progressed to "hands feel like they don't want to move anymore." It feels like my limbs are turning into clay. I can still move them, but what used to be mostly automatic now requires a deliberate effort using manual override. It's like if you've ever woken to an arm that went to "sleep" because of impeded circulation. At first, the "sleeping" limb is numb and will not move. That is what I have now, to a lesser degree, when my arm is at rest, but it seems to be slowly worsening.
