It’s not a term you hear very often. But when you start having the symptoms, you hear it a lot and you get to know exactly what it means and how it feels. When I was young, I used to make fun of people who said their feet hurt. Now, I’m paying for that disrespect because it’s me who hurts. A few years ago I’d never heard of peripheral neuropathy, now I can’t get rid of it. How long will this last? Forever. What can I do about it. Very little, but there’s hope.
