I made this page with the help of my grandchildren, because an interview about neuropathic pain completely changed the way I started to understand the pain I feel in my feet.
After watching it, a few things started to improve. But without any explanation, the interview was removed from the site where I had found it.
My name is Linda. I’m 71 years old, I have one son and two grandchildren, and I live in Arizona. I lived with neuropathy symptoms for at least 7 years.
Over the past few weeks, I found myself thinking about things I never had the courage to say out loud:
“What could happen to my feet?”
“Will I start being a burden to my family?”
“Are people already seeing me as fragile?”
For a long time, I tried to live my life the best I could. Doctors said it was part of aging and prescribed medications that helped a little, but left me drowsy, off balance, and mentally foggy.
I also read stories about people who lost mobility over time. That scared me — and it’s what made me start searching for information on my own.
That’s how I came across this interview online.
After watching it, some things started to change for me. I began sleeping better. I started walking with less fear of falling.
I don’t like exposing myself on social media. I don’t have the patience for comments or arguments.
So, with the help of my family, I decided to create this simple page, so other people could watch the same video and draw their own conclusions.
After so many years of trying, I finally began sleeping better and walking with a little more confidence.
Now I hope that other people can feel a little safer and less alone during this stage of life.
