I know I don have a formal diagnosis but my pm dr agrees it's sfn just waiting for test. My neuro on the other hand thinks I have bfs an depression... But when I ask her about the excruciating pain she doesn't even reapond.
I have been on noetriptiline for about two weeks and not even an inkling of relief.
I want to live for my baby so bad, but I don't know how. Everyday is a major struggle and I don't even get relief by sleeping bc there is no sleeping.

U r right, I don't know if I will need meds forever. But I can't see how this will get any better. This started a year ago and got worse fast ( mind u I think acupuncture caused this extreme pain, I had all the other symptoms before bit not this pain).
In case I do need meds forever, I want to be smart about it( haven't seen many people posting recovery from sfn except glen)

I understand people may think it's not as bad am I am saying but hinest to god it is. I am a strong person always have been. I have a wonderful husband ,we both have great careers, comfortable financially. Wonderful ( more than u know parents ) everything in my life is perfect. I am not depressed ( sorry, I am but bc of the pain not life)


I just need relief fast. Soo desperate but need to be smart about the path I take to get it.
