Hi - I've just found this site after recently find the braintalk site as well. How wonderful to find this site for 'talking' over issues and concerns.

I've been recently diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber sensory peripheral polyneuropathy and it has been a battle to just be diagnosed. Now that my pain has a name I feel a little relieved, a little scared, a little mad, and a lot confused. why me, why now, why at all?

Some days are better than others and some days just plain suck. I try to look for the bright side and stay positive, but when the pain is just unbearable, being positive is really a hard thing to do. I've always been a go-getter, an optimist, someone who worked at a project until is was accomplished. But how do I fight this condition? I guess I'm just learning to take one day at a time and learn to do what I can and be ok with what I can't.
