@SusanEllen66 Hi. I understand your reluctance to get the ON Nerve Block injections. It took a very very long time to get longer relief. Not everyone has pain like I do after the injections. Even though the pain gets much worse after, it then calms down where I actually have much better quality of life. Like you, I have Fibromyalgia, Inflammatory Arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis) is a form of Inflammatory Arthritis. I have it all over my body. I have Chron's Colitis, Gastroparesis and much more. It all started in my mid & later 30s. I'm 57 now. I'm glad that one of my NP's who used to see me told me to not give up & keep trying to find better relief. At that time, I was bed ridden & I was giving up & told God that I was ready. I guess it was not my time. My Dad suffered with ON & sharp Neuralgia pains & secere Polymyalgia Rheumatica (and had polo as a child) in his whole body up until he died at 89 (died 9 years ago Apr 12th, 2017). He was the only family who knew exactly what pain I was going through & I knew same thing with him.

@barbiejohanna you are going through so much.
I have my stuff too but I’m just plain exhausted from it all.
At my age, I feel the need to do less and stress less.

So here I sit at 1:00. AM
Trying to talk myself into going to bed.
I can whenever I want to and that’s freedom.
