Jack,
Neuropathic pain is neuropathic pain. It hurts pretty much equally. We all have empathy with you and most of us have been where you were when you posted the earlier posts. I myself was at one time. It is devastating to find yourself limited. I've lived with this stuff for about 4 years now and yes, it's bad but there is always someone worse than me. I come here for friends and to see if there is anyone with symptoms worse than mine that I can help. I have Small Fiber Sensory PN caused by Sjogren's Syndrome. And I have a lot of other problems too but there is always someone worse than I am.

I think you have a lot to offer. Maybe someone else will show up with symptoms such as yours and you can tell them what you know. Please don't stop posting. It's ok to take a break now and then. Some of us do. But we would hate for you to stop just because you feel you don't fit.
