Thanks so much everyone

I will keep writing before I cry some more......

Pain management doctor awesome. Wanted to update everyone earlier, but we have had no phone or internet for the last 3 weeks. I am using my parents-in-law internet as I write this. It is making me crazy mad having no internet or phone at home.

Anyway, we talked with this guy for an hour and a half. He asked me a lot of questions especially about my personality and my thoughts on drugs. Fishing for info and building a profile I'd say. He was very kind with a good sense of humour though. He explained all the different drug families for dealing with pain and what pain actually is. He put me on a trial of clonazepam (Paxim) which seems to help with the "fire"....(he told me that "fire" is nerve damage which I didn't know) and sleep. But I also must walk 20 minutes a day. That was fine at first, but now comes the AGONY!!

I have cried all day today which is unusual for me and the walking stick is out. I feel like someone has beaten me with a bat in my sleep. I have to see him every week for the next 3 weeks and then we shall see how we go.

As he says, "No more on the good days, no less on the bad ones".

God give me strength. This is freaking awful, but healing is never pleasant is it?
