As others have said, diet is key, so is stress/anxiety. Easier said than done, sure. But if you can control stress and anxiety, it will likely improve things. It certainly won't make it worse. Radical diet and general lifestyle changes have made a huge difference for me. Some days my symptoms are worse, but never nearly as bad as when it all started. Supplementation is key too. Good luck!

It lasts all day no matter what I do. Also, muscle pain, pins and needles and days like these generate lots of FEAR.
I am learning from reading various posts to be careful of antibiotics and to "keep calm and carry on" as the Brits say. I have read from many of you that stress heightens symptoms.
I do wonder if all PN sufferers experience good days and bad days? And, is stiffness common in the early stages of the disease? I can live with this on good days (which are not TOTALLY good, but manageable).
Thank you again to ALL !
