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.
