HI Cali,
I'm so sorry that you hurt! I do understand the sleepless nights.
Had trigiminal neuralgia first so was already on high dose Neurontin which helped it.
This pain in shoulder/arm/hand etc. due to nerve damage just eats into your soul sometimes.
I'm also older so not very interested in feeling high. However, we my doc changed and move to FL
things are getting harder. Finding pharmacies etc to fill scripts.
Was on low dose of oxycodone, developed allergy to generic oxycodone 5 mg sold here.
Moved to morphine, and so far it's awful To get pain somewhat under control have to take too much morphine and still live my life.
What state to you live in, and is ability to get medication any better. I'm actually thinking of selling house here and moving back to GA or some better state to get medication help. This atitude of "grin and bear it". These folks don't understand this type or level of pain.
Last year this time I was giving piano lessons.
Sorry for self pity.
