Sounds all doom and gloom but its not. I'm a cheerful soul and don't let much get me down, although sometimes my health wins that battle but only temporarily. It is wonderful to find others with the same contraption as me and hear their stories - suddenly I don't feel do alone!
I look forward to reading and contributing as well as making new friends.
Meanwhile I wish you all - love, life and happiness

Hi Samantha
Just wanted to stop by and say hi. My name is Melody and I have diabetic neuropathy. I deal with it. I just do the best I can. I've been lucky. My arthritis is much worse than any neuropathy I might have.
You have found new friends here. I wish you better days ahead. You have a great outlook and that is half the battle.
All the best.
Melody
