I know it would be a 4-5hr drive but, it might be worth your time if he can get you on the right track with pain management etc., He doesn't have the most charming personality but, he is one of the very best nerve docs in WA state.
What are you currently taking and are you finding anything outside of medication the least bit beneficial?
Big hugs.. stay strong,

I drink lots of tea, chamomile and tension tamer. That seems to help. I do lots of breathing techniques, and heat! I have to stay warm. I have found out that if I am cold I get worse. I always carry a blanket everywhere! I am starting to learn little tricks here and there to help me get through the day, but some days I just can't take it. As long as I had my pain meds (the dose I was taking) I could actually live somewhat, but now I have a hard time doing anything. I hate taking narcotics but if they can help me take care of myself and my daughter and help me live a somewhat life, then I will do what I have to.
