Sallyanne,
I completely understand what you are going through. I too have trmendously painful PN. Walking is a chore and very painful. My life has been turned upside down. I will say that in order to sleep and help take the edge off the pain I use Medical Cannabis. I have found it to be the only method for taking the pain level down to a manageable level so I can sleep. I still wake at night but the pain is not that bad.
During the day at work I have yet to find anything to help ease the pain. I cannot take any type of pain meds as I need my head 100% clear. I am a computer systems engineer and a small mistake could cost my customers millions of dollars. So I just deal with the pain during the day. When evening comes I am wiped out both mentally, emotionally, and physically. I have created a healing/relaxation space in my house that helps me to relax and help things calm down.
I wish I could recommend some other things but I have nothing else. Hang in there. Look to family and friends for emotional support. God Bless!!!
Dewey
