formally diagnosed w/ painful axonal idiopathic neuropathy about 2 1/2 years ago but I was symptomatic for many years before that - didn't have the painful aspects back then so I didn't pursue it as vigorously as I should have. I just entered my 7th decade (60) so I'm a little older than many who struggle w/ the symptoms.

You'll find a wealth of information, empathy and compassion here so even on your down days you can get somewhat of a "pick-me-up" at this forum.

Sorry you're feeling so bad but I hope betters days await you.
