I also read that in some women pn strated after birth. So I cannot imagine how is it going to be. I think that worse. It cannot be better, right?

Hi Barbie,
It's possible it can get better.
I have had PN for over 25 years. Some years were better than others.
I have needed to stay vigilant about any factors further aggravating the PN, including meds, foods, stress, excitotoxins, blood sugar, etc. I am not diabetic (yet) and hope to avoid diabetes by eating as though I am already diabetic.

I have heard of PN disappearing in some cases.

It's important to stay positive, when we can do so.
Research continues and advances understanding and potential treatments.
It's important to do the things that help.
It's important to watch for factors which may exacerbate the PN.

It's also important to try to minimize stress/anxiety and maximize inner peace and joy while pregnant. Your baby is exposed to stress when you are stressed.

Do things which you find calming, fun, joyful, rewarding!

You will find "hormonal imbalance" casually mentioned as a cause of PN in a few places, but it is not well understood as best I can tell.

Did you PN start when you became pregnant? Maybe a change in hormones which obviously happens during pregnancy is part of the issue.

"In many cases, a different type of medical problem, such as a kidney condition or a hormone imbalance, leads to peripheral neuropathy."
