Hi Diane You are right. It is really nice to be able to share with others on here, I am finding it has lifted my spirits greatly as Doctors and even friends just don't seem to get it! I've been on...
Neenaa you seriously dont know how comforting your words have been to me. And yet you suffer from so much! I feel i shouldn't whinge but this is excruciating and no i am on no pain or nerve meds....
Just thought Id update this post. I went back and saw my Dr who this time listened and was more open minded. He agreed I'd deteriorated since my last visit. So,,,,, finally I have a referral to a...
