@summertime4 I think it is easy to want to just forget going to neurologists, pain docs, etc., when you have neuropathy. Nothing really works well, and they know it. That is why I just had a DRG stimulator implanted last week. It was a last attempt. Still have no clue whether it is working, but I did reach a point that doctoring seemed pointless. Pain levels so high that my life became impossible to manage with joy of any kind. I wish there were answers in dealing with chronic illness. I do think that the one very good thing that has come of all of this suffering is meeting fabulous people here. I have had more support, more ideas, more encouragement HERE, than anywhere. I am getting tired from surgery, so I will go now. But I am with you. I have some idea how you feel. With love, Lori Renee
