Hi my name is Anjou. I was involved a MVA where my two kids were in the car with me strapped and in their respective seats in the back. My son at that time was about three and a half and my daughter was seven and a half. Its been six years but to this day i still am in pain. It gets bad when i fall sick or am in stress. I am on a regular basis on naproxen, lyrica, concerta and tylenol. I have been able to take cymbalta out of my regular cocktail of meds and have replaced it with St. John's wort. I do daily meditation, yoga stretches and taichi to function on a day to day basis. The thing is this new feeling of hands, knee and bottom of feet's burning sensations and also the feeling of numbness and sometimes "bug crawling" sensation is now more predominant since i am home. I am more fatigued and am more prone to infections (colds , flu and coughs). I want to take off my meds and try new natural remedies like i have done with cymbalta. Please advise. I am very sensative on my left side and when in pain its the whole left side that hurts even more. I also have severe headaches along with the pains.
