Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

rwinney and all - thanks for posting ! I have felt red hot fireworks plus flaming swords bursting up through my feet into my legs, swarms of wasps stinging me, and raging forest fires but when I look at my body, there are no wasps, no fire anywhere, no swords or fireworks - nothing. I asked my nervous system "Why don't you send out false messages of pleasure instead of pain? I'm sorry you're dying, but we could have a good time of it just as easily as a bad time." I got no answer. Peggy

@pfbacon I think you could talk to your nerves till you are blue in the face, and nothing would change. I tell myself I am ok all the time, and tell my nerves to stop screaming! I tell myself I am ok, I picture myself at the beach, my favorite place, and still, the stabbing, burning, throbbing....God, do I hear you, Peggy. Horrible stuff to handle.... Lori Renee

@pfbacon Oh Peggy...I hear you and love the conversation with your nerves. I think we've all had it. Doesn't seem quite right, does it, that our body's nervous system can have it's way with us. It infuriates me sometimes! Days I yearn for distraction so my mind can catch a break from the pain that always exists. Im hoping this evening finds you distracted. Be well.
