As I mention before, I live with Peripheral Neuropathy...ie PN. My Dr. and I have been together for the last 10 years...he being my fifth Specialist. I've done every treatment thought of and a few.....lets try....and still I can't walk and my fingers still don't behave. The last treatment...once monthly for six month.....a form of chemo.....a aggressive drug with limited doses because of health damage.......has now been a year since the last dose.......The pain of neuropathy has stopped and my hair fell out....but that seems all to me.....I asked my Dr. at my last appointment this..........We are done with any other options aren't we......Yes he replied UNLESS you start to decline.....he then added.......you have to be patience........this will take a long time.
Patience...........seems this has been my lifes' lesson........I struggle with this.....waiting.........waiting........
I'm off to bake some banana bread
About Me
- Lilac Moons
- I am on disabilty due to this: Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common diseases most people have never heard of…and yet, upwards of 20 million Americans have it. Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damage to your body’s peripheral nerves. This damage disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. It is like the body’s wiring system breaking down. If ignored, neuropathy can lead to numbness, pain, weakness and incoordination. However, diagnosed and treated early, peripheral neuropathy can often be controlled, slowing the disease’s progression. I keep learning ways to adapt.....learning to ask for help.....most of all..have faith in Jesus
Come and listen
Some corners have cobwebs......others have souls in the shadows......clutching their two-cents...... waiting to be heard
