Re: Chronic pain - really desperate and depressed..

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry you are having such a time with your feet and legs, but I know there's

an answer out there.  What you describe I've heard before from other people but

can't recall the name of the cause.

I've never heard of anyone having panic attacks from a vitamin your body needs

or to have pain when taking Vit D. 

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant not a psychotropic type medication.

I do agree that your pain and symptoms are nerve related and maybe coming from

the lower back or sacral area.  I think a neurologist or spine doctor is going

to be your best help.  The Gabapentin would have helped with nerve pain and I

would give that a try.

Hi ,

My name is Cherese, I suffer from plantar fasciitis as well. I also suffer from

chronic peripheral neuropathy in my lower back through toes. I was wondering if

you have ever had ASTYM treatment for your feet. It is quite uncomfortable at

first but after regular treatments it reduced my plantar fasciitis pain. I also

wear orthotics daily and I try to not walk around barefoot as this only makes

the condition worst. I am in love with Orthaheel as it is the only shoe I have

found that has a great orthotic built in.

As for your lower back issues this does sound like you are having some nerve

pain. Please try to work with your doctor on the best treatment for this. I am

not one for heavy medications either, I feel I am too young to give up on a more

natural life (I am 36). Please don't get me wrong, if the medication works for

me I will work with my doctor on the dosage so I can continue to work (I work

from home) and also be a part of my kids lives.

I hope this information helps you. I understand what it feels like to not be

able to walk or stand because of pain. I have even had to crawl a few times

before my treatment.

Take care!

I totally understand the depression and desperation, as I'm sure many here

do. I'm only 24 but have had most of my life consumed with pain instead of

being able to enjoy my youth. I also had to deal with my family not

understanding, and even thinking I was just making it up. Even the doctors

said that for awhile!

One of my many problems is Panic Disorder, and for whatever reason, I also

have panic/anxiety attacks after taking some supplements. Xanax and

Effexorr has helped the most, just to keep my anxiety in check, but I still

have to watch what I take.

If your doctors are not helping GO FIND ANOTHER ONE! Some doctors don't listen,

some just get it wrong. There are so many problems out there, it can take some

trial and error to figure it out.

My main problem is neuroborreliosis and that has caused nerves to go crazy, but

it also has a long list of other symptoms. I would also suggest a spine/back or

nerve specialist, maybe even a chiropractor (I've had a lot of help there, too!)

And finally, if you're open to more natural treatments, I've had a lot of

success with NRT- Nutritional Response Testing. It sounds kooky, but my NRT doc

has been able to figure out what and why my body reacts to.

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to email me off list, I'd be glad to

lend an ear!

Thank you all for your replies.

I am seeing my doctor again tomorrow and I will discuss the medication with him.

Also, I will see another neurologist and see if the new one can help.

I will write an update next week.

Meanwhile, I hope everyone have better days.

Best wishes,
