That is a question way beyond me!
I do not feel badly about any of my problems. But, as I said, they aren't as serious as yours. I am inquisitive about mine, where I will end up and when, and grateful that my son, adopted from Guatemala as a "healthy" infant, isn't a cripple limited to begging on the streets there. My eldest son has inherited my condition, and at 27 he has definite muscle loss. I have a fatalistic attitude for the most part and expect, or try to expect, little from life. I try in this way to protect myself from further hurt. It doen't always work. I doubt that it would work in the face of the relentless losses you have faced, but I hope that you are able to achieve some sort of equilibrium. PN is a condition in which doctors are often of little use.
