take care

Brian so nice to hear from you again.
I never understood what a flare was. I have PN now for 6 years. I had 3 very bad years and 2.5-3 virtually painfree years because all the nerves had settled down finally. So now it feels like I am back to my first 3 years. You know if you pull my hair I get nerve pain in my arms, so I guess the nerves in my back (from whiplash)are sending signals to all the nerves in my body making them angry. Lots of theories I have here. I just don't know how long these flares take to settle down.
Thank you Brian!!
