My neuro is pretty much useless..........he lowered my gabapentin from 2700 a day to 1800 a day but didn't say what he had in mind for treatment. He doesn't give me my pain meds or Xanax....I get them from my PCP because SHE does understand the pain. My new oncologist made my appoint at Emory. Said that was going to be my best bet for help. I'm hopeful they can help me. The only treatment I've had so far is the gabapentin.

This week has been the worst....had a mammogram on Mon that I drove myself to (I usually don't drive unless absolutely necessary or ride if I can help it) then Tues my daughter in law drove me to neuro.....we then went to a dollar store. I just so bad wanted to shop. That put me in bed all day Wed and most of yesterday. I hate this. Hate it....hate it. I'm tired, scared and have no idea what the future holds for me with the SFN. It's moving up my legs and now my hands, right arm and part of my left arm are aching....a deep aching. The only relief I've gotten this week was from taking 1/2 a vicodin and 1/2 a Xanax at the same time. Sometimes that didn't even help. I've only been dealing with this since May. Diabetic/chemo related.

Wish I could say writing this made me feel better but it hasn't. For a person with a usual sunny disposition I'm broken....

Thanks for listening.....Debi
