I really dont have pain meds. the strongest thing i have is 500 mg of naprosyn.. which is really bad..how long did it take everyone to actually get some help? Every doc has either refuse to treat me or given up. Im so tired of hurting and not sleeping and being depressed all the time.. I was some semblence of a normal life to start soon..Did anyone else have trouble going through the stages of grief? I seem to be stuck on the why me part and cant seem to get angry.. I am more than willing to give anyone my cell number so we can talk or text so we can help each other..everyone needs someone to help.. right now i have noone..
