I have been all over including the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland clinic. I have tried all the natural suggestions as well as prescribed meds. Nothing seems to work. I even tried pain management. "I think the hardest thing for most of us to deal with is feeling guilt about complaining or the inability to clean, cook, etc., as well as we once did." I feel so horrible that we sold our beautiful home and moved to an independent living facility.

I have been told aside from this horrible condition I am a perfectly healthy petit women. This will not cause death. I guess as my neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic said" this is the new me". Adapt. At this moment I am on the last thing I am trying Lyrica with our any effect at all. I am taking 50mg twice a day. I am sure they will want to up it but I think I will elect to go off it and just try and learn to live with this horror that I feel strongly was brought no by the vaccine
