@joannlakes55 How can we help today? Can we point you to care near you, help you find a support group, or offer encouragement?
Do you have someone living with you who can help get you started?

@sueinmn Im fighting this battle alone, in NJ. I was diagnosed 2001, right after 9/11 I flew to LA to see Dr. Jay Goldstein.

All the great doctors are gone now. My Primary said " if I cant see it, I cant treat it ".
I told her that's my whole f$*kng disease.

Now its just my neurologist who prescribes gabapentin. Im lost after I weaned myself off pain meds. A week later I swallowed a bottle of pills. Obviously it didn't work.

I am NOT depressed, I have SEVERE ME and NO support, no friends, no family, no medical support.

Help! PS I am an MSW myself. Dont suggest therapy
