I can definitely relate to the feelings of loneliness and sadness. While my family and friends do their best to be supportive, I feel as though they can not really understand what it is like to live with body-wide sensory neuropathy. I do my best to continue living my life as I had pre-neuropathy, but sometimes i feel frustrated and sad when I realize that, as much as I don't want it to define me, neuropathy has an effect on just about every aspect of my life. It's very difficult to accept, that more than likely, I will be living with neuropathy the rest of my life.
