Do any of you have difficulty with your family members not understanding what you are dealing with? I have Idiopathic Progressive Peripheral Neuropathy. It has progressed to the point that my thigh muscles have atrophied and it is hard to do much. I work out on a treadmill but I'm just a shell of who I used to be.

Welcome!

Oh YES, you are surely in the right place. So many here know exactly how you are feeling. Sometimes the frustration of people not understanding can be worse than the pain itself!

You'll be amazed once you check out the PN forum. It is LOADED with information on what PN is and how you can combat it. The support there is wonderful.

Settle in here - you are certainly not alone in this.

See ya there,
Rae
