I am in a daze, feel so alone. my wife does not get it; she has dealt with this enough.
Find me something to look forward to.

Learn "meditation" it will take you away from the pain. If possible avoid narcotics as the side effects are awful and depressing. You are not alone ever. Jesus is always with you. Have faith and think about what he went through for us? Our suffering is minimal and going to a good church feeds the spirit and occupies the mind. Keep your mind occupied and don't consume yourself with the superficial problem of pain. Not a Dr. just a sufferer like you. Chronic and daily. Waking uo is like rolling the dice, I never know what limbs may be numb or in paralysis. The P/N and thorasic outlet syndrome were much worse until i did the above and do it daily. Vitamin B-12 and a Multivitamin and neurontin is all I take. I swore off narcotics as the side effects are dangerous a least for me. I'll deal with the pain and hand it to the Lord.
