Thanks so much all of you for your ideas and techniques. I can't believe how kind you all are here on this board. It's amazing to have found such a supportive network. I have had a lot of trouble over the last 6 months finding a place or people that understand the pain that we are all going through. My friends and family don't seem to understand how these nerve symptoms are with me 24 hours a day constantly eroding at me. They keep saying that "it will be right". The truth is that my body doesn't feel like it is going to be OK and the constant fight trying to put these symptoms out of my mind and live my life is draining.

I know I don't have a choice but to get on with my life as best I can. I just wish it was all alot easier than this.

Thanks for your suggestions I will definitely put them into practice.
