What you are experiencing is "normal". It's a weird ailment.



In short, our nerves are protected by a myeline sheath, a bit like insulation around electrical wires. That sheath is damaged, nerves are "exposed", the electricity flowing through them doesn't make sense, and your brain freaks out.


50% of that is "in your head". The more you calm down, adapt to and accept something is not right, the less pain and discomfort you will feel. But there will always be discomfort (until the next scientific breakthrough). Sure, it is a real physical problem, but the way you mentally handle it is extremely important. (very similar to tinnitus really)



Does that make sense?



It's normal to ask the questions though. I freaked out for 3 years at first.
