You are not alone :)
Bless your heart...you are having a bad time of it. I am so very sorry for what you are going through medically and physically.
Have you looked in your community for medical resources that might help you out ? Sounds like you need some meds for pain and depression right away !
My life has changed dramatically in one short year. Lost my job of 26 years due to lay offs, had a 'regular' hysterectomy for excessive bleeding and the path report came back that they found a rare uterine cancer called Serous. Was diabetic but not insulin dependent and immediately started 6 rounds of chemo in Dec 2012. (Taxol/Carbo) that ended at the end of March 2013. Exactly one month later I could barely walk my feet hurt so bad and I kept dropping things and knocking things over, horrible balance problem etc. I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy via a skin punch biopsy in Sept due to my diabetes and chemo. Foot dr said mine is so bad that all I can do is go to a pain mgmt. specialist and work with them to get as much relief as I can and have some sort of life back. I am home 99% of the time because I can't drive with my feet like this....even bad as a passenger. I can't clean my house like I need to and I can't walk around the grocery store to buy groceries.
So I understand some of what you are going through. Please reach out to people in the neurotalk community. You will find a lot of info that will help you and some extremely nice people to go along with that.
Wishing you the best and please keep us updated. We care about you.
God is good and the sun shines here in Georgia.
