Thanks for the "young" comment. I am 40, so not that young, and I have this whole illness to remind me of my 40th birthday, as it happened around then.
So, I suppose I need to give things time. It is hard, today was a bad pain day, and it is tough for me not to think about this all of the time, because the burning hurts so much. I guess I don't know what I am supposed to look for in medication, how much it is supposed to work and such. I know it will take time and I should concentrate on healing.
Thank you for your sound words. I appreciate the response.  |
As I mentioned in another post somewhere, perhaps the medication forum?, you might ask about Tramadol. I take a low dose once a day. It gets rid of the burning. For me it also gets rid of the tingling and the little guy running rampant with that map pin.
Tramadol does a fantastic job of muting the nerve pain for me. Nothing else I've tried works as well...at least nothing else I can take. If gabapentin didn't have the sides for me that it does I'd still be on that. But Tramadol is the next best thing IMO.
Also, read the stickies. There's a lot of info there about supplements and such used in nerve healing. And many of us here can attest to the healing.
