I have been extremely depressed all week. I miss my husband who passed away in July of o6, my Postherpetic Pain has been bad all week-I have been dealing with this for sixteen months now, 24/7, and my small home business has'nt made a dime this week. Not to mention all this talk about a recession, more to worry about. If I could just be pain-free for a while I could handle other things better. Only others who have had this know what I am talking about .Nerve pain is different from other types of pain, it is debilitating and depressing.

Well here it is the middle of May and I am still in this awfull pain. It is now eighteen months. I am taking Lyrica, 100 mgs, neurontin 300mgs, and ibprofen three times a day. I also take cymbalta,100mgs, at bedtime. I have tried to discontinue all but cannot do it. I have this severe binding, squeezing, pinching pain down my back and underneath my breasts which leaves me breathless. I am 81 years old and still working. This condition is destroying what time I have left, I cannot enjoy anything with this constant pain. I might try one more thing,shots that are supposed to block the pain, done by a Dr. who practises pain management. The only thing that helps for a while is a hot shower and a roll-on called Stopain with Glucosamine, msm, and Boswella. My skin is still very sensitive, I have not been able to wear a bra in all this time, and cannot lean back in a chair without a soft pillow behind me. Nobody can understand this pain unless they have had it. I cannot walk straight anymore as the pain makes me lean forward.The lyrica helps some, but nothing takes the pain away.
