Hello, all!

Two thumbs up for "Knowledge is power!" (I'd put more thumbs up if I had them.) The onset of my PN symptoms was several years ago, although it wasn't until only last fall that my PN was finally diagnosed (predominantly sensory-acquired axonal peripheral neuropathy – quite a mouthful!). For several weeks, I moped around, certain there was little to nothing I could do for myself. One day, I said to myself, "Snap out of it, Ray!" and put together a 3-ring notebook in which I collect all the best* PN information I find, as well as make notes of questions to ask my doctors. (*I say "best," because there's so much misinformation out there, especially online; learning which sources are authoritative and helpful is absolutely critical.) Maintaining that binder not only keeps my spirits up but also is a great reminder of my own role in taking good care of my health. So again, two thumbs up for "Knowledge is power!"
