Strictly speaking I haven't got peripheral neuropathy, because the cause is injury to my spinal cord, so it should be called central neuropathy or something like that. But the symptoms are much the same, ever-present but variable neuropathic pain in my legs, and pretty poor mobility. It kinda helps that I have accepted that there is no hope of cure - they say that although peripheral nerves can regenerate, the spinal cord cannot (though maybe there is a glimmer of hope in stem cell research).

However the big change for me was after having tried all the recommended drugs and discovering that none of them helped, I realised I just had to accept the pain "as part of me". I still complain and grumble as much as the next man, in fact I feel that, because the pain is part of me, then I am allowed to complain and groan! But I also have licence to get on with my life within the limitations. Hope this helps a little, hope you won't see it as a negative attitude.
