I have too many thoughts to write in a comment (it would be a whole dang book!), but I can very much relate! Maybe we grab coffee/ tea and walk slowly whole chatting about it sometime 🥰

I can relate to this post--I started having nerve pain over a year ago and it had been quite the journey to understand my anatomy and discover what helps, triggers it, and nothing was an immediate trigger so it took a lot of time to figure it out. Nerve pain is like no other pain!! There were times I wondered about disability too as it didn't quite fit the categories I normally would have thought about. I'm a spiritual director who sits with others. Unfortunately long periods of sitting was one of the triggers. So I've had to make sure I don't sit too long. I'm grateful we don't depend on my income!! Anyway--just had to comment as this caught my attention. When you've dealt with nerve pain and someone else mentioned nerve pain your antennae go up!

Thank you for sharing - I'm so sorry that's been your experience because I know how hard it is!! But also glad to not be alone! Maybe we need spiritual directors who will walk with us (literally) as well as sitting with us 😅...
