Hey Carl,
I did read all of your post and I'm sure many others have as well. I think that what you have said hit home for many. We all have different ways of coping. I wish I could come up with a miracle for you, but all I can offer is empathy and hope that somewhere out there is the answer to yours and our suffering. I cannot put myself in your shoes, no one can truly feel what another does, but I can relate to sleep deprivation and pain seemingly without end. I have been down the road to hell where blackness is the day and night. I have touched hopelessness and felt the cold fingers of death beckon invitingly to me. The difference is that mine ends and my heart breaks that yours and other chronics goes on and on.
I am new here but I think that there is plenty of room for fellow sufferers to relate, encourage and share their experiences. I am here for you, I can listen, and I am sure there are many others here on this board that are here for you as well.
I don't know if you have faith or not but I do, and I will and have prayed for you and all of us.
God be with you
Bobbie P.
