Absolutely don't compare yourself to others. There are so many stories and different meds to help.I've had Anesthesia Delorosa for about 6 yrs. and my meds do still change as we find out what works better and what doesn't. I hope you have good family and friends to support you because you will need them more than ever.When I found this forum, I took a big sigh and cried like I had found gold. You are in a good place here. Bless, Doodle bug7
