After reading the discussion involving steroids it seems foolish not to try them
short term. It seems you can discover a lot via a positive gain or hopefully not, but even a negative reaction.

I hope that the increase in Gabapentin helps Canagirl. I can't relate on the bodywide front, but the relentless symptoms front, well over three years in, massive adjustments, some ebb and flow, flares like now.

Stress is a proven escalator for me. Takes a bad day and makes it putrid. Extrapolate as you will. There are some meditation threads in the chronic pain section I believe. I have tried working on mindfulness, with results varying.

Somedays I have what it takes to cope and others I don't.

Try the logical approach using literature from the company that tested you buopsy as enbloc suggested. It sounds, er sound.

Wishing you a respite,

Jon
