I would ask to rid myself of chronic pain. I am so limited to what I can do because it hurts to bad to get up and down. I know my life used to be hectic but I'd welcome it back.

It sounds like pain is a recurring theme across many conditions. I'd also really like to get rid of my pain. The fact that it's painful just sitting in a chair is awful.

emoticon heartHello. I would love to get rid of  my neuropathy. my feet are constantly burning ,numb and tingling. I also have some pain . I also have sharp pain that comes and goes. It has been better since my oncologist recommended Alpha lipoic acid. Its a supplement , it was helping a lot till my PC started me on a statin medication , with guess what side effect? numbness in feet. It's always something. but I refuse to take strong medication for it . I don't like taking too many meds. Good luck to anyone going through chronic issues. Take care and I hope you have more good days ahead, Denise

@KittyJ I wish I had a magic wand to help you. I hope there are some better days ahead for you. It's hard living with any chronic illness but I can't even imagine what you are going through. It just seems so unfair. I have always liked this quote: “Never let the things you cannot do prevent you from doing the things you can.” – Coach John Wooden.   I hope if you see this you're having a good moment. It's important to live only in the moment because cancer taught me this moment may be all I have .  I am close to being in remission, and if I live in the moment I'm not so worried about the next. Take careemoticon heartemoticon clovergoodluck, Feel free to message me , Ill try to get back to you asap. Denise
