@ray666 you’re very astute. PN is not the end of the world.

For me, it’s just one of several things I battle everyday. My life is mostly on hold. I literally can’t drive most of the time because I am profoundly exhausted, have double vision, and pushing myself just makes things worse. I could go on but you get the picture.

I do go to to church, pick up my groceries, doctor appointments…

Hobbies keep me out of trouble! I paint, do jigsaw puzzles, and work on my family tree.
I’m blessed.

Hi, Susan Ellen

You're right. PN is not the end of the world, but there sure are days when it can feel like it is! I guess that's the challenge we've all been given, to find tricks and techniques that work for us and help us to power through those "bad" days. In a few hours, I'm visiting one of my oldest friends, who is much, much, much more unwell than I am. Certainly, I'll not be "using" the occasion of my visit just to pick my spirits up. Still, it's impossible not to see others who have far greater problems and not come away with a more realistic understanding of our own condition.

Working on those family trees is great fun, isn't it? And deeply satisfying.

Best wishes,
Ray
