Default Don't mean to sound cruel, but......

Is there anyone out there that would like to take your worse neuropathy pain and by magic make someone else experience that pain for five lousy minutes? That smug doctor? A significant other or family member who just doesn't "get it"? How about the person who wants to turn it into a competition and claims that there is no way your neuropathy can hurt more then their arthritis, bad back, headaches (or insert any other medical condition). What about the person who assumes that your pain is not really that bad because "you don't say much about it" They have no idea even when you have explained it to them that you sadly have adapted sometimes to being in pain and don't always talk about it.

People who have never had neuropathy need to to put a sock in it when they think things like, "It can't be that bad"...

Just venting.....
