Hey St George I don't like this new state either and it's really hard to accept it as the new (hopefully temporary) normal. I tried so hard in the beginning to go to work, be happy around people, brush aside my problems until bang! my body won over. In my worst phase I could not turn a key in the door, light the stove, do my buttons, hold my knife or a pen properly, type and I couldn't stand up - Showering and toilet were awful. This list has gradually changed to a few cans so I totally share your silent question Will this pass? But it slowly is. I can do my buttons, am writing better, typing ok, using my knife better and can stand up without a stick and without wobbles. When I saw my neurologist initially she said my feet had left the building - I guess that's why she put me on Intragam without hesitation. I will see her in February and ask if its ok to name her here. Perhaps she could share her results with neurologists in the States! I know I did eat peanuts because they have inositol in them and this is supposed to help nerve impulses. My feet and hands were numb for at least 4 months but now they are stinging. I tell myself that my nerves are waking up because they are painful and for me this makes me carry the problem a little easier. I miss the outdoors as I can't drive at the moment and not yet confident to get out on my own so I try to open every door to conversation that I can. Keep fighting the good fight - I also pray that this will pass for us both and when it does, we'll be leaping with joy!
