When one first finds these boards, just FINDING it is an accomplishment! Then you sort of get overwhelmed with the scope of all the posts. The stickies range from the basics to the really detailed...maybe sorting them out in to three types of stickies: Intro to PN and related conditions [what it is]; Getting diagnosed and Living with it; then the more in-depth research and issues about pain management that offer some hope and keep PN'ers up to date.

I clearly remember finding these boards 3 years ago and I did nothing but read everything...all posts and stickies... for over two months! Folks new to NT really can't appreciate what great info was posted and then archived or lost.


Some folks aren't gifted to understand some of the hard research, I know I truly have to read, re-read, then read again such stuff as the chemistry of it all is a clear to me as Russian or Chinese languages. But, I work on trying to understand it as PN is caused by chemistry in our selves. It's not any type of spoon-feeding or making PN info 'simple'. A way to enable and encourage those with PN to learn the language of it and then get more proficient.. maybe? Just a thought, and Alkmyst, it's a good one. I hope we can all do something useful. - j
