This is what I have been experiencing for the last week and an half. I assumed it was just a bad flare, but part of me wondered (or prayed) that maybe some healing might start. It has followed such a strange pattern. Like when the neuropathy first started, it spread upward, and now I have had times where it is going in reverse. When reading the net about what other people experienced when they healed, it really seemed so many of them were different. A couple of times I read how some said they got really worse before they got better. This darn condition! I wish there was a set pattern that one could say you would experience, so you know you were healing. On the other hand, I am just grateful that there is even a possibility that I can heal at all....and that's what keeps me going.
