IMO I don't think there's a particular rhyme or reason for the order of symptoms. I had mostly all the same symptoms in the beginning that I have now. For me, sometimes for a time a symptom seems to stop completely but then it may suddenly reappear.

What has changed since this started is the intensity and/or frequency of symptoms lessening, making them much more manageable. Even when I flare now the symptoms are nowhere near as bad as they were. Yes, it's a bummer when I flare, but I have to keep it in perspective because I've come a long way in the past 9 months.

I attribute much of my success to the good people on this board who have helped me in more ways then I can list. Because of them I have been armed with the information I need when seeing a doctor, been informed about meds and supplements so I could choose ones that could help my SFN, educated about things that are harmful to my nerves, and given the support I so badly needed.

Hang in there. carol

I blanch at claiming getting better, but these past few weeks my symptoms have lessened due to reduced stress from altered job function. Now, the changing seasons are still causing flares, I still have symptoms, when I get home I am fairly shot, but overall I am in a better place.

I am a novice to sub novice on the mindfulness front- in fact I find it useful only up to a point- but it is indeed important to try and reframe your mental state, I think.

I hope you get an answer from someone who has truly had some healing or improvement of symptoms because I still wake up nightly, my body is very forthcoming in letting me know when I am next supposed to medicate and I have the same trials I had a month ago. I have thankfully sloughed off some stress, which is wonderful.

I somehow managed to upgrade my view to a winter sunset over Lake Erie too.

How about them apples? Wait, I skip those, too much of a glycemic index hit.

My best Baba,
