@annregister - Ann, to piggyback on what @dbeshears1 said about 5 hours back, she is absolutely right, this forum will help. I live in a small beach community and do not know one person with peripheral neuropathy. Then, I bumped into this forum and what do you know, there are others and many out there with similar issues and symptoms. I don't think the medical community can fix this problem; some are trying. I have sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy as well both small and large fiber. My dx came thru Mayo. I am sorry to hear about the difficulty you are having. Would you consider professional counseling and if so, check with your insurance as some may cover the cost or you may have a small co-pay. Some are available by zoom. I wish you the very best. Remember, you are not alone in this.

I do have a therapist that I talk to every Monday. He is helping me make since of this pain and process it all. I have learned through talking with him that I can endure a lot of pain but mentally, I’m not strong. I do not want to burden anyone so I have put a smile on my face for a long time. I literally can’t do that anymore. That’s why I made the statement….this pain is taking over my life. I just found this forum just by chance a week or so back and I’ve already learned so much and gain much more hope than I’ve had in a long while. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
