Last Two Nights – Misery

     Last night, yesterday, and the night before all were bad.  I had lots of neuropathy pain.  Gabapentin even at the full dose isn’t stopping it.  Gabapentin does tame down the burning but allodynia, where touch is perceived as pain, it does not help, and that has been severe.

     I know the key to getting this pain down is exercise.  But yesterday things hurt so bad that even the touch of the back of the car seat on my back when I drove to the post office resulted in searing pain.

     My doctors at Group Health, both my primary care physician and neurologist, are not in the least bit helpful.  They do not suggest any remedies, and when I research and find things and pass them by, usually they won’t even bother to read the descriptions and if they do I usually get something like, “I can not recommend this in this setting”, but they offer no alternatives.

     So I am more or less trying things at random, doing my best to make an educated guess on whether something is likely to kill me or make things worse, and then be a lab rat, because I really can’t get any help elsewhere, nor can I live with this pain.

     Prayers are appreciated.

  1. Life lessons from one who is not required to be correct to have an opinion.
    Your body, designed by God to live here on earth, I believe drugs taken long term interfere with body ability to self regulate.
    Less drugs, good diet and maybe some Chiropractic care to assist healthy nerve regeneration.
    God Bless
