I have a husband of 27 years who is very supportive, but he has got to get tired of dealing with my illness.
I am sure plenty of you go through the same thing. How do you shake it or do you just bear with it and know a better day will come?

Oh Julie

I think it's the worst when the pain keeps us from sleeping. Lack of sleep makes the pain worse (at least for me) and then everything craters.
I agree, thinking about someone else suffering more just doesn't cut it for me.
I wish I could show you how much difference a LOT of B12 injections have made for me.
If you try B12, though, and you aren't going to get a prescription for injections, then get the 5mg Methylcobalamin lozenges. They will make a difference.
But... when they didn't make my horrid horrid back pain go away I did some further reading and discovered that I need to give my body additional amino acids if I expect my body to repair damaged nerves.

Chicken breasts worked great. But some days there was just too much pain to stand long enough to cut up an onion to cook them with, or even add seasonings.
So then I heard about Whey amino acids and I bought that which I can pop into my coffee in the morning... so easy. So this way I consistently do it.
And the other thing is magnesium. More of it than calcium... and some with anything that contains calcium.
Recently I've been getting eight hours of sleep a night, and it feels so good.
If I didn't have this extremely stressful court stuff, I'd be feelin' SOOOO dynamite!
Oh, and I think to get the use of the magnesium you have to take it with vitamin C or hydrochloric acid, only not everyone should take hydrochloric...
Here's my page on foods containing magnesium (and some other info)

(Nearly everyone who comes to that page, and a lot of people come, find it through a search engine... which is so fun to think about.

I hope to hear that you are sleeping more and feeling better.
