One thing you have to learn quick smart with PN.is never let it control you,your the boss once it starts creeping in you have to fight,fight like you never fought before.I sometimes feel the way you do the crud has me numb from just below my boobs,and in my arms and hands and the pain is excruciating 24/7 as i cannot take opoids I want to live i want my life back I want to take my grand-daughter places,I want to travel,I just want to be me again.
