Perhaps you have PN and don't notice it, because you ARE so stressed??

It is known that when you are subjected to severe stress, depending on what you think is severe stress, you are more likely to get sick. Some people do fine with what I feel it mortal stress.

I think what happens is the idiopathic part, eventually, gives way to some 'reason', be it diabetes, autoimmune or heredity. It has taken them forever to find mine is autoimmune. Diagnosis is a long process.
