I'm still new at the neuropathy. However, having already been through cervical disectomy and fusion which disabled me nine years ago, I am slowly coming to grips with reality and trying to protect my mental health by not flailing out in all directions.

The first time around, the chronic pain and loss of my job sent me around the bend.

I wish I had something more constructive or positive to say; I just don't want you to feel ignored, as happens so often on message boards when someone needs to vent or just needs some human interaction.

These neurological conditions are insidious; so difficult to diagnose and treat. Test upon test, med upon med. Alternative medicine and nutrition. Somtimes physical therapy. It can wear a person down.

Gentle hugs and hope your day becomes brighter.
