That is the *only* thing that helped me with that.
What medications are you on, if any?

Thanks all for responding! I feel the love
and give it back.
Right now the pain doc and I have settled on 3000mg of gabapentin, 600mg of oxcarbazapine (trileptal), 120mg of Cymbalta and 5mg oxycodone PRN which works out to be 2-3/day.
The meds I've tried could be a whole page (I was diagnosed in 1998 but had been suffering for a few years before). At one point I really liked Catapres patches, but my blood pressure is too low to support it these days (I've lost weight as a result of having a hard time cooking and no desire to eat).
