I was denied dissability benifits and appealed the denial, and meanwhile attempted tp go back to work at a new job, but was fired after one month, with NO reason given. My medical insurance card came in the mail a couple of days before I was cut loose, and the insurance coverage ended on April 30. I intend to check in with this forum periodically. Do not worry. Your prayers have been GREATLY appreciated. I will be OK.

I am *so* glad to hear this from you!

you had me worried. I was hoping that after you'd hung around a few days (praying that you would give yourself this time) you would find much support here. Just as I have. This is an incredible group of people here. Very caring, very helpful and they understand what each of is going through as far as the pain. Not just the physical pain but the emotional as well. I had reached the end of my rope late one night, or early one morning, depending on how you look at it. I couldn't sleep cause my feet were causing me such agony. I was up instead of asleep, crying, desperate for some answers and stumbled on this message board while doing some research. It's been a life saver for me. I'm blessed in that it appears my PN is or was caused by a Vit B-12 depletion. I've been on the B-vitamins for over 30 days now and my pain is almost gone. It's a miracle!! There's simply no other way to describe it.
I know you'll find things here and people too that can and will help you. For me it was just knowing that there was all this information and help here and that I wasn't alone with this anymore.
