Peripheral Neuropathy ... My Story

This page was written that I might have a place to share publicly about the disease I have been coping with for the last fourteen years. This is not a page of neuropathy information per se. It's my personal story. If after reading through my page you recognize that you h… Continue

Hi Marian, have just read your blog. It was very interesting...never heard of this particular disease. I am sorry you have to endure such hardships. I too suffer with pain and have put up with this circumstance for around 25 years. Am awaiting results of my second MRI scan this month...mine, I believe now, is due to my getting older. Your body, bones and muscles are struggling with the wear and tear of life. I sincerely hope things get better for you and that eventually some medication will help. Take care, Manilove, Irene, UK

I read your blog and I have to say I was very touched. Don't let that disease from letting you live your life and from enjoying it. I always look at negative things by saying it could be much worse.
Just remember the time(s) you saw Barry and it might give you some peace. I know of people who have never been able to go to a Barry concert at all. At least you've been able to make memories. Don't let it get you down. You always have Barry's music and the support of your family and friends.
I will be sure to tell you all about it though! I'm going to post a forum about my whole experience sometime soon after the concert. I have to first regain my composure as I'm going to be a little flustered and I will have to drink a lot of water since I won't have any bodily fluids left from crying so much. haha. and I'm gonna hang outside of Tempo and see if he shows up that night so I can say hello to him and maybe get a smile from him. :]

79! that's not hot. well maybe for you guys up in seattle but that's probably the temperature here right now because it's almost 6 so it's the evening now. it was like in the mid 80s today. that would probably be really hot for you guys!
just drink yout ice tea and you'll make it through this heat wave!
but i'm doing pretty well. i'm not thinking straight either but for a very different reason. i'm getting all pumped for las vegas! only 10 days till i see barry. 9 till i leave! so excited!
i'm just trying to enjoy my last few weeks of freedom before school starts on sept. 3rd. oye, not looking forward to that.
i'm also a little tired because i'm odd and woke up this morning at 7:30 to listen to that BBC barry interview. haha.
