I am feeling your pain and have extensively for the last 2 years, I went through gabrapenton 3600 mg a day reliosly for 6 months, NOTHING, went trough all the anti depressants, NIGHTMARES and NOTHING, went throught all the other helping drugs and I ride a motorcycle and until I started injecting dilaudid I had not rode a bike in 2 years, I am right now in the Smokey Mountains from my home in Florida because I have found that the heat and humidity hurts much more! I have road my bike about 2000 miles since I have been up here for over a month and I still have some extreme days but if 1 shot doesn't work I do another, as far as the stigma( mainly because I am completely sleeved with tatoos) I am getting over it , its funny I have never cared my whole life really what people thought and now that I get the worst desease I start...funny??? I have had suiside thought for quite a while and every day is a new day, my thoughts that maybe one day there may be a cure for neuropathy and my family are what keep me going, I also hated the dilaudid pills but the shots are completely different, I know when I wake up within an hour the pain will back off, at first I got a little fuzzy once in a while but I get no high at all from the shots now, all my pain managment doctors have all told me there is no way they would take a chance with this script so I only see my GP and have thanked her from the bottom of my heart for the days of relief, \\ I wish you the best and I know from my side I hate to hear hang in there, but hang in there and hope you have some good days ahead.
