feeling a bit down , things are getting on top of me and finding it hard to see the positive , my neuropathy seems to be getting worse?!? but not sure if it is the neuropaty or something else> before i gave up being a chef i burned my arm really badly 10 yrs ago now , it was a 3rd degree burn that took ages to heal and got infected aswell i have a scar on my arm about the size of a digestive buiscit i havent had any problems with it since it healed though , any way now the side of my arm that has the scar on is numb and is numb from the scar down to the side of my wrist and down the side of my hand right down to my little finger , i guess i just assumed initially that it was the neuropaty but some one mentioned to me that mabey the burn had dammaged the nerves in my arm ( it was very deep lost a chunk of my arm about 1/2cm ) but like i said i havent had a problem with it before , but then i think am i just in denial that things arnt as good as they should be and it is the neuropaty , any way its bought up a whole load of emotions and feelings about life , my kids and family , i guess im scared and feeling a bit like im falling apart , i dont want to talk to my o/h as he deals with so much already and mabey im just having an overly emotional moment but it helps to write it down , thanks
