Ann,

I'm sorry to hear that surgery didn't help you. I had surgery with the same surgeon and am in the same condition as you. I, too, am tired of taking medication; nothing else has helped. I'm at a place now where I'm just trying to manage this condition. Some days are horrible, some are tolerable with medication. My life has been changed completely -- and not in a good way.

I wish I had some words of wisdom. Instead, all I can say is I understand your frustration.

Kelly
