We were all sitting around and he walked in and he was talking about sprouts and I thought he was Steve Myerowitz the Sproutman, and I ran up to him and said "Oh, you're the Sproutman", and he laughed and said "you know me from Neurotalks, I'm Glenntaj and I almost dropped to the floor I was so surprised. I started saying "This is Glenntaj from the internet group I go to".

We all laughed. It is SO nice to put faces to names. Sometimes pain conditions can really do us in, no matter what the cause.

At this particular PN Support meeting we have people with various kinds of Neuropathy. Some gals have Bladder neuropathy, pelvic neuropathies, some guys and gals have Peripheral neuropathies (hands and feet). Many have had surgeries on their backs and have PN because of that. Some have PN because they had been on chemo, etc.

So you see, there are many various reasons a person can have PN. Some of us are diabetics also. Steven Smith runs the meeting and if you need a hookup with a doctor near where you live or even in NYC, one of us will direct you to the proper guy. Steven knows EVERY doc there is to know in the area of PN. He even has doctors phoning him with questions about THEIR patients. We all learn from each other.

So you are most welcome to come and enjoy a few hours of information, laughs and of course my muffins.

I believe I'm making Banana chocolate chip next month.

Of course there is always the possibility of some people not showing up because of inclement weather or people are sick but by and large, people show up, we listen, we chat and we learn.

So I am very much looking forward to you coming. But you have to tell me who you are when you walk in.
