@1prettymess Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are glad you are here, and have shared your experiences. I cannot relate to the pain you have suffered with all these years, but my hope is there is someone also reading your post who may be able to help you. Have you considered medical marijuana as an alternative pain management tool?

@1prettymess, I have read your post and shuddered at the complexity of your medical condition. I can understand how difficult every day is for you.
As Ginger mentioned, medical cannabis may be a healthy and successful option for you. Just so you know, I take no opioids or other pain medications for my small fiber neuropathy (SFN).
I have experimented with, tested and evaluated many cannabis options in the last few years. I now have a regimen that works well for me. My pain is controlled without the high of psychoactive components. My other issues, e.g. numbness and anxiety have taken a back seat for now.
May you be safe and protected today. Chris
