@bhop Hello there, I am also young and suffering very similar conditions/symptoms. For six years now, I've had no grip in my hands nor any feeling for 2 years now. I have high amounts of pain and nausea on a daily basis in my body that's kept at bay with high doses of Gaba as needed. I work a very physical job at an emergency veterinary hospital, on my feet all day and utilizing hands for everything, even computer work sometimes. I've had to get creative over the years, but even moreso adjust my mindset and be willing to ask for help with others as I felt led to do so. And I like what you said about being honest, I believe that to be the best policy and will take you far in life; it also sensitizes others to your condition(s) and your needs, and allows for them to extend an extra measure of grace to you. 🙂 For me, I must keep my arms compressed at all times and 'just keep moving' - mentally, physically, in all aspects etc. BUT I also am learning when to slow down, take breaks, ask for help and never give up! Experiment with things to find out what works/doesn't for you, and talk to others like you're doing here! May you find relief, peace and a sense of joy as you journey thru each day. Sending good thoughts and vibes your way!

Hi John, with respect to the temporary relief of Bio Freeze, I find that sometimes it works and sometimes it makes the pain worse. And you never know what you'll get. Anybody else get that reaction too?
