And look at us here, stressed and feeling like we are in a maze to find some help. Doctors are suspect and the big Pharma that owns them and tells them what to think and do by basically bribing them. I guess I'm on a rant.

However I didn't just figure this out yesterday. Now I'm in the system and they want to throw everything at me. I do my own research and I've refused 80% of their suggestions. Besides neuropathy I have something that is causing severe and somewhat rapid weight loss. I have refused all invasive investigation into the cause. I read the possible side effects and I couldn't live with them. I see the phrase "small but significant" when it comes to possible hellish side effects or errors. I'm not risking that as it doesn't hurt to this point in time. Neuropathy hurts! I'm fine dying without much pain as opposed to living with lots of pain for the rest of my limited existence. And self delivery is never out of the question but that is another road filled with misinformation and something one must judiciously study to be successful at. Life is always challenging at least in a culture such as this.
