Hi @sunnyflower the way you describe this affliction of yours it sounds like Dante's Inferno. Not trying to be funny at all. Truly it sounds like a type of living in hell here on earth. You are the first one that I can remember describing their neuropathy being bad in their knees. I know you had said earlier that you keep a chilled gel-filled blanket on them. I am glad that something gives you some relief.

I just came home from volunteering for the Red Cross so I have been gone all day. I walked in and said hi to my dear sweet wife and could immediately tell by the look on her face that she was in a lot of pain and had been for several hours. She had that hung down, eyes down cast and squinty grimace that is the tell tale sign that we all know. She is in so much pain today and this is probably the 5th day in a row of just misery. As a caregiver it makes me so sad not to have anything to give her or do for her. She has severely burning feet and a terrible headache, and I am sure very bad tinnitus, she always has that. This is just such a frustrating problem. Just needed to vent, I am so sorry for your personal cross of pain to bear Sunny, it just seems like there so many very wonderful people who are suffering so much. I know it's for a perfectly good reason that only God knows. But all my best to you, Hank

@jesfactsmon Hank, I love that you work for the Red Cross. They have a perfect person to be there!!! Could not be better. I just hate to hear how bad Linda is. Just heart breaking. She has so many things to deal with. And I know, you can only offer your support to her. But you have no idea how much that means to someone in pain. I really do think it might be the best form of medication, ever. There is great comfort in being supported. I know she loves you dearly for this. Yes, we all need to vent here. This is the place to do it, and everyone really understands. As I write, I remember that Linda's neuropathy is a result of Chemo. Such utter tragedy. What they have done to her to cure cancer. What a joke! Terrible. Criminal. The oncologists are in the Stone Age, in so many ways. What can I even say? Only that I care, and if I saw you guys in person, I would screw Covid, and gave you both giant hugs from the heart. Love, Lori Renee
