Hi My name is Carol and I am so sorry for your current state. Also that you are dealing with W C. UGHHHH. All I can say is keep fighting via phone if necessary-as you know early treatment is most beneficial . Try to stay calm -NOT EASY- try warm Epsom salt soaks and I use Arnica Salve for temporary pain relief in affected limbs. I know this might sound "HOKEY" to you but every little thing can add up to pain relief. Are you taking vitamins? esp D-C and magnesium. READ READ and investigate all you can -This is vital as you need to be your own advocate. We here at Neurotalk are here for you. So ask away. Fondly-Carol
