@rwinney Hi Rachel, Your pain description is brutal, and yet I get it. Felt like my toes and balls of feet were in a vice today. Stopped the Low Dose Naltrexone for a few days, because I did not think it was helping. I guess it was, because I was in utter agony until I took Kratom. Brought pain down from a 10 to a 6 or so. Considering Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation. Just cannot deal with this anymore. Got medical marijuana card, and I am using it more than I like to. Rachel, Rachel, Rachel......this is not fair. From where do we gather strength? How often do you just cry? Tears trickling down my eyes today, as I chugged Kratom. Unbelievable. Had lumpectomy, and wound up with this mess. I am so sorry I am so low. Gotta put the spirit of God inside me. Find the joy...somehow.... Lori Renee

Hello and so good to hear from you. Been thinking about you as I have not seen you post in a while. Sorry about the LDN. As @artscaping so gently reminds me (and she is absolutely correct), there are no take it all away answers. Once I began to understand that reality, acceptance came my way...sort of. I can not tell a lie...I have my days, and yesterday was one of them! My poor husband. It does break my heart (and I'll get mad about it for you) that once people survive cancer, surgeries, etc...this misery awaits them. Indeed - not fair. But if we sit around playing woe is me, life continues on without us. Damn it All! Such a catch 22. I wish you peace and clarity today. Be well.
Rachel
