Hi there,
I hope you are feeling a little better with the sun coming up, night time is the worst for me too, I hurt so much more in the evenings and at bedtime. I understand your frustration and pain, it's tiring and wears you down. Do you have any support system at home? Having someone to keep your spirits up and reassure you can help with the pain sometime, even if it's just a pyschological thing.
I have a suggestion, I just recently (recently meaning 2 visits, 2 weeks) started seeing a Naturopathic Doctor for pain relief. She evaluated everything from supplements, blood pressure, pain tolerance, mood, etc.... she has started me on some herbal supplements, vitamins for nerve pain and inflammation and weekly accupuncture sessions. I don't feel a huge amount of relief just yet, but I have to admit I do feel a little bit better, and at least it gives me HOPE if nothing else. I was so desperate to find pain relief I was ready to cut my hand off for the nerve pain, so I wanted to try anything. Perhaps something for you to think about. When our health care system isn't working for us it's time to take matters into our own hands. Most insurance plans have partial coverage, and at least it will give you another opinion?
wishing you (and me) a pain free day!
