@domiha = Wow...what a topic! Early on when I first came on board to the Connect, mentor John @johnbishop said to learn as much as you can about your condition, and I have focused on that wise advice. I've purchased several publications relating to PN and various reliable websites not selling any products are helpful. I think what has helped me the most is hearing from others who also have PN. Our doctors don't deal with the psychological effects of PN, they deal with test results. Has a doctor ever asked how do you feel about having PN? Think about it. We deal with this each day, how it affects our lives, and it does. To what degree, that depends on each person. I appreciate Debbie's comments above and it's true, it's what you can do. And, as @valec said, don't give up and keep fighting. How true! Mike, thanks for this post, it got many thinking.

You know what? You make a great point. Not once has a doctor asked how I feel about having and dealing with NP.
This is a profound and sad realization
Hugs 🤗 all around.
