Well, I admire the positive attitude for sure, especially in such terrible circumstances. My heart goes out to the man burned from head to toe. He is to be greatly admired for his attitude.

I do find though that a LOT of neurologists are not very sensitive to people suffering from pain. They seem to go arm in arm with Rheumatologists.

It is like, come back in 3-6-9 months. Meanwhile, let me give you an anti-depressant, or one of the other drugs that you have tried with no positive results. And, "Are you sure you are getting good sleep?" Or the one that really fries me: "You appear to be suffering from anxiety." Do you have something stressful going on in your life?" "You need to see a shrink." Or, how about, "just learn to live with the pain."

People in pain deserve to have something to give them relief. In my area (Dallas), there are pain management clinics-some good, others not so good. Probably most are at least trying to help people, who are struggling to have a life, despite the hand that has been dealt them.

In Daniella's case, I think that she has been suffering from pain that someone should be finding answers for NOW. This has gone on way too long. And the eye problem that goes on and on and on? Well gee, I would be anxious too...
