Like you, I'm afraid of pharmaceutical drugs, too.. I hope you get a diagnosis quickly, but also know that it's so very difficult to do so.. My own problems have snowballed lately and I'm trying hard to find answers and anything to ease my pain and improve my life.. Presently I'm keeping daily records of how a Homeopathic rubbing oil "Frankincense and Myrrh NEUROPATHY" has been helping my Erythromelalgia/Neuropathy feet.. Not a cure all, but has allowed me to be on my feet around home a bit more.. If you're not already keeping a record of what's happening to you, I recommend it.. I'll be taking a copy of mine when I see my doctor on Monday.. hope it makes the picture more clear to him and should save some time explaining what it's like for me on a daily basis.. We have to hang in there and hope for some relief.. Blessings on you and your family..
