It seems that PN is one of those things that once you have it, you really shouldn't ever consider yourself "cured" - although you may go into "remission".

Just enjoy every day to whatever extent your current symptoms will allow. If nothing else, that will reduce your stress level - which seems to be powerful medicine for many.
I found out a few nights ago that my twitching and night time symptoms hadn't really stopped on their own. I tried an experiment with my medication and I realized that the twitching, pins and needles, burning were still present, I had just been able to sleep through it. I was disappointed but I am grateful for this info as I have this to share with the specialist I see next month. I have begun to stop dwelling on being cured and have begun to enjoy my days instead.

I think many of us need a little more of that attitude

Ain't that the truth beatle! When I'm up to it I try to "Act As IF." Then you become as if, if that makes sense. I think they call it fake it to you make it. I had such a bad night last night that I don't have it in me to even act. I totally get it.

I don't have it in me to act either, not a lot these days. Unfortunately, it might translate as laziness to some...but I only wish that were the case.
