Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Thank you as always for your experience and knowledge Chris. After 3 months of experimenting , I've found the closest thing to a sweet spot. There are many variables... such as best on empty stomach, line stomach with fat (I take big spoon of peanut butter or eat a handful of almonds) to avoid nausea, timing around other meds and on and on. And as you say, possible future tweaking. Aren't you just so proud of me for learning?!?! 😊

Halleluja! Yes, I am very proud of you for many reasons. First, You are able to sift through my dialogue and modify it to your own need to know at the time.
2. Like most of us, you arrived at Connect looking for "the" cure. You have accepted the fact that there is no cure for SFPN at this time, just many choices for quality of life improvements by managing pain.
3. You have learned to live through the frustration of things not quite living up to your expectations. You accept that chasing and expecting totally pain-free outcomes is not possible right now.
4. You are able to get to the bottom of your challenges....e.g. the pain can become more troublesome to handle when the rest of the family jumps up and runs out to experience the day while you stay at home and try to get that sweet spot.
5. Even when your first post of the day conveys that you are struggling a bit, your greetings and digital chats with all of our Connect community members are positive and help reduce anxiety with gentle words of compassion and/or humor.
Keep it up........I don't have flowers but I always have art. Chris
