Looks like you are doing some great things to help you. I can only speak for myself. My doctor has me on Methotrexate and Infusions. I QUIT today. I have had it with feeling bad day and night every day. No fun times, no church nothing with the kids. I am hopeful I will see a Pain doctor soon.

Hi @tbeckys, I have been looking into near infrared light to help with my neuropathy but haven't purchased anything yet. I saw the owner of the SaunaSpace Company interviewed on a YouTube video by Dr. Terry Wahls and found it pretty compelling. I was looking at buy a single light unit but their main product is a small sauna to house the light units. The website has a lot of research articles and also videos that are pretty informative - https://saunaspace.com/articles/. The YouTube interview is worth watching.

Hope you find some relief.

WHY are they giving us these medications. There is no cure. What are they meds doing except make us hurt and feel crappy all day everyday. Nap time is from after breakfast to lunch time, then again in the afternoon. I have no life. That must end.

Dear tbeckys. Do not worry so much. I an 80 and have 3 auto,ummune diseases, diabetes, heart, high blood pressure,anemia. glaocoma, macular degeneration spine pinched nerve, disks, etc, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis. and others i cannot think of. Yet, I still live pretty well, have happiness, a new fellow I just met. You will see with a good attitude you can enjoy life. Yes, there are some painful days but then the better ones come back just as the sun comes up. There are people here who do car for you. Sincerely, Peach

What is the alternative? You don’t have to take the meds. Life is what you make it. @marield65

Dear Oregongirl, and whomever else reads this. Why do we give three billion dollars to Iran and do not enough for us Americans who are suffering? That money can go a long way for doctors to find cures, or help for us. (Please excuse the politics but it is a good example) I myself have been and still am suffering so bad i think of suicide. But not yet. Continue to hope.

@Yes, i do agree with you. thank you forbringing it out.

@peach414144, If I was able to march (even walk) I would be involved with these new movements. Look who is in the white house. All he is doing is cutting programs that help the citizens of this country. Can't get too political but the new man in town is not helping our broken system. Try not to think about suicide as you never know if your next day will be a better day or if a cure for your suffering may be discovered.

What kind if pain meds are on
