They name the roses after famous people, places and things to give them significance....just like the different types of Neuropathy... but they all have one thing in common... when they stick you with their thorns, IT HURTS!

All the types of Neuropathy HURT! I'm sitting here at my desk, working at a very large insurance company, and my feet hurt on top, on bottom, my toes cramp at the end of the day, I'm sleepy by 4pm, and I have to sleep 10 to 12 hours a night to make it through a work day... I take anti-seizure meds, anti-depression meds, a cocktail of vitamins and minerals, and exercise and eat as best I can, just to live a "somewhat" normal life...

People who work with me and see me on the street have no idea I'm in pain on a daily basis. They have no idea I sit here at my desk with shooting pains, cramping toes, and shocks in my feet.
