Cindi,
Thanks for your reply to Kathy, I live on the eastern shore and weather has always been a big factor on my foot. Stress is another one. Unfortunately, this past week I have had both and found the coldness going from my foot to my knee and my other one is begining to ache. After speaking with my attorney 1st thing this am, and he confusing me even more, I thought it would be easier just to cut my foot off, so everyone could see the pain and leave me alone.

That is one of the symptoms that I really loathe and there is no relief from it. It looks like I won't get any sleep tonight because as we well know it goes on and on and we never know when it will end. I have just started asking for meds for breakthrough pain because it just constantly eats at my brain. Even though I have never considered taking my own life because of the pain, I can see why some people who don't have a support system or ways to occupy their time, kill themselves.
We all HAVE to reach out when we need help. I have said this hundreds of times, if I had not found this board when I did I would have lost my mind! There is always someone one here who is willing to give feedback or a shoulder to cry on. My neurologist had a fit when I told him I joined this board. He said that my symptoms would get worse because I would hear other's stories and develop them. This is sooo far from the truth. If I hadn't joined this board I wouldn't know what was going on with my leg and the spreading to my opposite arm. I am really not thrilled with any neurologist right now because they say one thing and do the other!
