Hi Everyone, its been a long while since I posted because of my long treatment for my lung infection. I have Mycobacterium Avium and Bronchiectasis. Due to this chronic infection, my lung function has gone down. Shortness of breath has been, sort of, become the "normal" thing. I finished my treatment and the great news is my last culture is negative! But, as the nature of this condition, the incidence of reinfection is very high. So, as I continue to deal with the day to day challenges of protecting myself from another infection, which is a toll order, I live one day at a time.

As to my neuropathic pain, I still continue to take the usual Gabapentin and the compounded pain cream. It helps me with the burning, electric zaps, pins and needles.....but it does not help with the deep pain in both feet. This relief from the unpleasant sensations MAYBE from the cream OR from the weather but I think its more on the weather. Please hear me out....right now I am in a tropical country with hot and humid weather. Every time i am in an airconditioned room, the unpleasant sensations bother me a lot but once I am out in the sun with my shorts, i feel fine. Its been consistent that when I go out in the sun, wear shorts, and no aircon, I am OK. I am not sure if i am making sense but that is the way I feel. While this weather makes my pain VERY tolerable, it makes my breathing more difficult. 😢. Anyone has the same experience as mine? Does warm weather make the pain less?
