Also, I find it more and more difficult to walk for very long because of the pain and dysfunction (feels like I am flatfooted) that walking brings on.
But how can I complain when there are some among us who are completely debilitated by their illness, and I am not there yet.

Hi Nervous,
Hope springs eternal. I, too, am hopeful that things will get better.
Last winter was my first winter with PN and it was extremely difficult for me to wear heavy clothes. Or, even just light sweaters, or just anything that touches my skin for that matter. I prefer the season now for the simple reason that I can wear less clothes, e.g. shorts and sleeveless. I have very hypersensitive skin and painful feet. I also could not walk and stand for a long period.
What are you symptoms? What supplements do you take?
