Was so amazed at the perfect lack of pain all week.
Then yesterday...was feeling so great forgot my morning dose and left it at home. OMG did I deal with some pain in the evening. Became extremely depressed thinking it is not the sugar at all...I will never get any relief, etc. HOWEVER, in the light of day I realize that nothing occurs overnight, my pain is still MUCH LESS than it has been in months and I will not stop eliminating the sugar no matter what. I have needed to get my sugars under control for a LONG time before I have a stroke or something, I feel better mentally and physically than I have in a long time when I eliminate the sugar, and it WILL have a long term effect on my pain. This morning I am again pain free and was throughout the night! |
Belinda - You have the right attitude to succeed in the long run, what i have read so far, you are still doing very well, not taking your morning dose of Neurotin , of course is going to expose your pain again plus getting emotional upset aggravates the heck out of PN, the two combined is an awfull combo for PN, like pouring petrol on a fire.
Please remember that you may have bumpy road whilst healing as it is a slow process, but its all very worth it in the long run, believe me.
good luck i know you can do it.
