Living with Neuropathy - Welcome to the group

Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, Jul 14, 2017

Welcome to the Neuropathy group.
This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet other people who are dealing with neuropathy. Let’s learn from each other and share stories about living well with neuropathy, coping with the challenges and offering tips.

I’m Colleen, and I’m the moderator of this group, and Community Director of Connect. Chances are you’ll to be greeted by volunteer patient Mentor John (@johnbishop) and fellow members when you post to this group. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.

We look forward to welcoming you and introducing you to other members. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one.
Let’s chat. Why not start by introducing yourself? What concerns would you like to talk about?

I am caretaker for an 83 year old. She is very functional but I do all the shopping and most of work around the house. She recently had a pain pump put in and is actually doing a lot better. Had to change the drug once. She also has a neurostimulator for years which definitely helps her. She is doing better with the pain pump. Getting up more and doing more. It isn't for the neuropathy but the back and seems to be helping somewhat. She takes Gabapentin and is diabetic. I am very glad to have found this support for us.
