[IH8PN]

Quick recap about me. Pn symptoms started 4 months ago as vague foot pain/discomfort which progressed to burning, aching, and allydonia.

Woke up today and feet felt different when they hit the ground. Especially my right big toe. Did a little self examination and it looks like the big toe and ball of foot just under big toe are going numb. Same with left foot.

This steady progression of symptoms in such a short period of time has been difficult to deal with. I was hoping that some of the symptoms were part of the healing process, but with my feet showing new onset signs of numbness I'm losing hope.

Everyday it's a challenge to get out of bed physically and mentally and the PN is zapping my energy to fight it. The pain is so much I almost wish my feet would just go numb so I didn't have deal with the pain anymore, but I know that just means I'm further away from the possibility of getting better.
