Hopeful, thank you for the tips and prayers. I want you to know I have been reading your post about getting off cymbalta and while I can not imagine that kind of pain, I understand daily pain. You and everyone who lives with constant pain were in my prayers last night and always. Before PN I would tell people who had pain or terminal diseases I would pray for them. I never understood. Words. Just words. Until you live with debilitating pain (and mine has only begun to this extent but knowing its forever....) until you experience it you can't possibly empathize with someone. Now, when I say I am praying for someone with pain, I can almost feel the pain while I pray.

Yesterday when I got to the doctor they called the referral in and that was that. Nothing else was needed. My appointment with the neurologist is April 23.

I guess yesterday was my blessed good day to give me hope, as the darkness descended so did all the old pain and water bucket and today is not real good either.

I honestly do not know how people survive life long pain with no hope of it ever ending. This is definately a new phase in my life and clearly I need to figure out how to accept it.

I pray you are having a blessed good day today.
