Hi Canagirl,

There is no way you should accept your condition and the life that leads to. That can lead to resignation and deep Depression.

What you need is to find the mental distractions - as have been suggested - to allow you to strengthen your mind and learn to Cope.

I have exactly the same body-wide searing, burning, the numbness, referred pain and heaviness along with my other issues. What keeps me going is daily Meditation, love for my family and - very importantly - this Forum and all the Members here. I learn much, receive more and am entertained greatly just by coming here.

I can tell you that over the next year you are likely to be trialling different combinations of meds and treatments - including Therapy, I hope - and it is possible, even probable, that something will work better than the regimen you are on now.

Be patient and draw on the love of your family and the support you have here.

Dave.
