Hi Burntmarshmallow,
Thanks for sharing with me. It sounds like we've had some very similar experiences. Of all the doctors I've seen, I like my pain docs the best. I will talk to them about this on Monday. With this "invisible" illness, my biggest fear has always been that doctors won't believe me, even though no one has ever given me cause to think like that.

I was advised that my children are adults and they can handle difficult situations, so I have talked to both of them about my tough times and thoughts of suicide. They were both very supportive and offered to help me in any way they can. I've also been considering things from my husband's point of view and can sort of understand why he said the things he did. I am truly lucky to have them.

I'd like to know more about your experiences with tn and your pain stimulator. I hope it's doing a good job for you.

TGIF! Have a great weekend, Cheryl
