Hi, everybody...(shyly scuffing toe on ground...).

I'm new to the forum, although I've been lurking for a little while to get a sense of it. Hopefully I won't make any (or many) faux pas.

I'm sooooo happy to have found this forum, as I have recently been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and am, um, kinda scared. Okay, a lot scared.

There's a lot of questions I have, but I am also mindful of how much more pain everyone here is in and I feel kinda funny about talking about mine, which doesn't approach yours.

I'm sure that I'll be able to learn and grow from being "with" you here. I feel better already!
