You probably have a multiple issue here, jak.
PN being a significant contributing factor.
One that will probably be difficult to Dx and will give you conflicting Dx's from each specialist you see. You really, probably have PN along with whatever else.
Acceptance plays a major role in treeating PN effectively,. Until you 'give in' to the fact you have it, it is chronic, will be with you for life..... until a 'cure' is found, and actively seek proper treatment...... (with over 75 differenbt meds currently used singly or in combibation to reduce symproms and pain)- you will be fighting with yourself and will not be able to come to grips with your PN.
Notice I said reduce, not make go away. The degree of reduction is the effect of which meds and which treatments work best for you.
It differs with each of us.
We must seaarch to find it.....acceptance keeps us on the search path, and eventually we find that happy medium of paiin and symptom relief.
But remember.....it never goes away 100%.
We live with it daily. It is difficult for doctors to understand and empathize with, much less friends or spouses. That's why we come here.
Hopefully it allows us the acceptance to take the stress out and live more normal lives. the stress alone..... makes our PN much worse.
