Living Life with Peripheral Neuropathy

I have this condition/illness/disease or whatever you choose to call it. I prefer condition.
You can look up the details of this because I'm not going to try and explain it medically.
It started in 1994 as a tingling in my left toe and today it affects my hands,legs and feet. I once was a working physical woman. Today I live in a chair and am on disability.
I'm fortunate that for me it is slow progressing AND hopefully with this last round of aggressive treatment halted with high hopes of reversal.
I don't like writing about this as it reminds me I'm different and yet on the web all I seem to read is despair. I'm not saying this is a good thing to have but if you have to have something, it's not as bad as other things and always someone worse off would trade.
I just thought I'd write how life is for me living with Peripheral Neuropathy on a more positive side.
