This should probably be in the spms forum, but I'm afraid it won't be seen. I'm wondering why after all this time being here, that I don't seem to see anyone else suffering with so much pain 24/7? If Dr. Kevorkian was still alive and doing his thing, I swear I'd pay him a visit. It just seems like the pain continues to worsen every day. For the past week I've had a neuralgia type pain shooting in my left ear, down my neck and shoulder every ten seconds or so....it reminds me of fingernails on a blackboard. There is no joy left in living........sorry to be such a downer, but there you have it. With no hope of improvement for the rest of my life, why continue? This isn't living, it's torture.
