Oh! Rick, You are so kind. I can't tell you how touched I am reading the emails posted by this wonderful group. And I can't tell you how much your concern and encouragement means to me. I'm around, all right, not going much anywhere anymore. I have my good days and my bad days like the rest of us. Sounds like your pain is unbearable, but your faith in God is what I think helps you put up with it. Can you be prescribed medical marijuana in your state? Have you considered that or discussed it with your doctor? Right now, I am so spacey from the Neurontin that I will listen to Natalie's advice and reduce the dosage that I started taking. I'm walking around in circles. I have to share with you how upset I was in reading Jude's goodbye email. I can't get it out of my mind. She suffered so much physically and was emotionally so distressed that she unsubscribed and just said good bye. Just like that! I feel so bad for her. Take care. R
