I agree with Enna. This is a place where we can talk about the pain and people understand. For people that have not experienced it, they have no concept of what it is like and it is hard for them to be empathetic. So, yes, it may sound as though there is a lot of negativity and pessimism, but, it is here that we can find someone that understands when we are in those painful episodes.

Many of us have good days mixed in with the bad ones but the tendency is NOT to post that we had an OK day. We come here for support and many times, we don't need support for those good days. It is the bad ones that make us type away.

I just want you to know that I AM having a good day on the pain scale for PN. I have been having MANY of them recently.

You may read of many progressions with PN but that does not mean it will forever get worse and worse with no relief. Through the progressions, changes in treatment options may provide relief.

Hope you find what will help alleviate YOUR pain.
