That Bible verse is one of my favorites. I have had PN for many years, but I find that not wearing shoes or socks and staying off of my feet helps a lot with keeping the pain away. I can imagine what it is like not being able to do your life's work. This is where we trust in the Lord to bring to pass what we cannot do in what way He sees as best. That is not easy. I have a friend who was a pastor and now has PN. He only works part time now because of it. Also my brother has a dog named Faith.

Well said about relying on faith ((whatever it is for you) is a big coping mechanism. I love Jesus and I have feltbHim carrying me many times in my life. Perhaps others have Buddha, or another god or just rely on their own inner strength. Whatever it is that you rely on in life, lean on it to carry you through the pain, the anxiety, the unknown. We can’t do it alone, and we can’t always rely on others to do it with us. Even when we have strong supporters, ultimately it is up to us to choose to take the next step. Blessings all!
