I am out of hope , faith, and a will to carry on
I got the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy.. But with no known cause.
In the morning, my hands are numb.. All of my muscles hurt and burn when I stretch. Burning from neck to feet .. That is relentless. I have tried all the lotions and potions. I can't just sit at home with ice packs all over me forever.
I'm not even 30.. Single , no profession because I had to drop out of school..
There is no hope. I have up on prayer ages ago.
Nobody wants to be around a whiny , negative person who is never happy and always in 24/7 pain.
I'm done. I'm just done. No desire to torture myself any longer.
Has anyone else ever dealt with crippling depression because of this horrendous disease?
Everyone I see on here is older .. No offence .. But my best years were still to come.
I had to get this out. Thanks for listening.

Hi there, I feel your pain, trust me. I am also dealing with burning pain (nerves) and I have found that the least xr-mri-ct scans you have, the better. When I went off the painkillers it was hell for few days (oversensing) hell on earth.
However once the postwithdrawal symptoms receded, I started to feel much better (emotionally, mentally) the pain is back to being very bad however, I have found that a combo of
Voltaren with 100% lavender lotion immediatly eases the nerve pain and the burning sensations.
The problem with voltaren is that it can be mean on your stomack even if is topically used.
As a result, avoid drinking coffe, alcohol and any other irritants while on this treatment..
YOU will be able to sleep and to feel better (less is more, no more meds, they make you sicker) of course talk to your doctor to wind off painkillers, is not impossible is more the fear of people, use over the counter tylenol back pain while on withdrawals and maelox and you will be fine.
it is better to feel the pain but be sober and foggyless during the day, then feeling the pain and feeling like dead walking. I hope this helps!
