@rwinney Hi Rachel. I understand scared, completely. Chronic pain is like living in some kind of altered state. Chronic pain perplexes me, as I used to heal from things quite easily. I wonder how there is never any healing. I wonder how to live this way. I read how limited you are, and it is heart breaking. I haven't a clue what to even say, except that I hear you and I understand. I feel your vitality, your passion, your drive. I feel your heart. How could we be put on earth to suffer? On a practical note, I ordered conolidine, and it should be at my house in a week or so. I will post to everyone how it works. Just took CBD, and pain is better, but now so sleepy. As you know, I will be trying B12 shots, and shortly after, low dose naltrexone. I will post to everyone about those things, too. Pain is not for sissies. I like so much that we can share...….I am thinking of you.....what else can I say? Lori R.
