Ed (@njed) –– I initially found it extremely hard to change my lifestyle. I hadn't realized what a proud guy I was, mountain trekker and marathon runner that I was, but PN can be unforgiving, patient but unforgiving, waiting on the sidelines until inevitability sets in. When inevitability set in and I finally climbed down off my high horse (i.e., my pride), life got better, and pretty rapidly, too. I suppose you could say that was the dawning of acceptance for me, and along with acceptance came both the willingness to adjust (e.g., go slow, carry a cane) and to search out what therapies might be of help, if not to "cure" my PN, then at least to make newly adjusted lifestyle as manageable and full as possible. ––Ray (@ray666)
