My father had PN and so do I, since age 40. It’s been progressive. One of my brothers has it too.

Good morning!

I don't know for sure, but now that I have PN and am learning more and more every day about PN and other neurological disorders, I'm thinking back to my family and how they appeared and moved around. Other than my brother (who never spoke in any detail about what was hobbling him, other than to say in an offhand way it was neuropathy), my parents, grandparents, et al., remained tight-lipped about all their illnesses. In my family, everyone was obviously suffering from something, but if asked, "How are you doing?" would always answer, "Oh, just fine!" Two days later, they'd be in intensive care. The next day they'd be dead. That's how they lived––and ended––their lives. Not exactly an example I want to follow. LOL
