Several years ago, I did the no sugar, supplements, lost 30 lbs, etc. and after 9 months, I felt worse, so I stopped that too. None of my labs showed any improvement either.
I have resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be able to do anything again. What ever I have to do to get through the day I do, even if it means staying in bed for several days in a row.
Just chimed in here in hopes of something new for the pain.
(Wish people would try to understand how this disease works, instead of my having to explain myself at every turn.)
Thanks

I am with you - though I am new to these forums. I have been attempting to post, but it seems only my very first post went through. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I am with you in that I also have resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be able to do much in my future. I also do whatever I have to in order to get through the day, even if it does mean several doses of pain meds. I am on 600 mg Lyrica a day with no relief but am afraid to stop it for fear that the pain would be even worse. With the numbness now creeping up my legs to my knees, I lie in bed fearing that I will spend what I have left of my life in a wheelchair. It is depressing-especially when I finally came to the realization that I will never get better. Anyway, that's all I have to say....and I hope this actually posts.
