that we all come here from various walks of life, with different lives, different degrees and kinds of neuropathies, and of course different opinions about it all.

There are over 200 types of neuropathies listed in the 'stickies' at the top of the main forum here. Anything in blue, well click on and you'll get a bounce to a new site for info. That's mostly the 'research', diagnosis, and treatment stuffs [like meds etc]. It's important stuff to know tho, as it will give you a background or framework about what all is happening to you and causing your pain. Some of it is medical 'talk/speak' and we have all learned the lingo, we can help with that and all about the different meds and our pro/con experiences.

It mite help you to just read some of the back posts as well - to get a handle on how we agree, disagree and share info about specific problems. This IS a community and all communities have lots of folks with different viewpoints. Depending on situations those views can be more or less appropriate for what you want to know.

Horselover please keep in mind each of us here HAS/DOES/IS very familiar with the PAIN you are talking about. LizaJane is very and ever so right about that. David is right that trying to change your attitude about it IS important to keep things from getting worse. Also, getting all the important aspects of your own issues is important so we can relate to your problems and point you in the directions you could to get this demon knocked-out ASAP!

Just don't do this, please - j
