Thank you, Rachel, for your words of empathy and support. I have to say, the news isn't the best, but I got the same prognosis from the neurologist; the trial and error with pharmaceuticals begins. I wonder if anyone has found relief in more "natural" products.
I am very sorry to hear that you suffer this miserable condition! 😢 I've had chronic neck pain for the last ten years, and after awhile, I got used to it. The pain became less dominating over time. I am hoping that this pain will, as well.
My name is Jennifer. Reach out to me, if you'd like to talk more on the subject. I'm still a newbie, but I am someone who can relate to what you're going through, at some level.

Thank you for your kind words, Jennifer, and for the invite to reach out anytime - that is very sweet of you.
Great news that your neck pain became less dominate over time. Hopefully, you receive responses from members who find some relief from natural products. I had no long-term relieg with natural herbs or supplements. I did however learn about healthier, anti-inflammatory food to eat, and what inflamatory food to eliminate or reduce, as well as other lifestyle changes.
As @chuck406 mentions, educate yourself by doing research to learn about your condition and how to naturally help it. We all have to learn by trial and error and get through the steps of self-discovery with medication, treatments, therapies. It's a right of passage in the "cycle of pain".
I'll throw this your way because it helped me a lot. If you are interested in learning more about CNS conditions and chronic pain, here is a video from Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten explaining the science behind "chronic".

If you have questions for me about anything, please do not hesitate to reach out. I'll be curious of your response to the video and whether any of it resonates with you. Stay hopeful, my friend.
