Hi Miranda!

I don't have any other suggestions for your brother's pain, but wanted to say hello and what a great, supportive sister you are! My MS is at the secondary progressive stage and I've had constant pain since 1995 which is attributed to Fibromyalgia. However, I wonder if more of it isn't due to MS than the doctors around here think.

Seems like I've tried everything without much success except over-the-counter Aleve. It seems to work as good as anything. Neuropathy is horrible and I sure hope he finds something soon to alleviate that pain. I'll be watching this thread too since I know first hand about the depression, isolation, etc., that develops from constant pain.

I hope this post doesn't discourage you, but maybe just knowing there are others of us "out there" dealing with this pain 24/7 might be helpful. Obviously we're not all the same, so what works for one may not work for another, but you've received some good suggestions!

Take care and all the best to both of you.
