It may not be that Pathology is taxing on your body but it may be stressful. How do Neuropathy patients feel stress plays on their condition? I have asked that question before. I asked that because with the onset of mine, whenever I lie in bed and think about my job and all the unfinished business and workload waited for me I could feel this vail of tingling and tightness fall over my head, and I couldn't get rid of it. It wasn't just with work either, it was when ever I started to discuss anything I considered stressful. I'm okay now, but some of the damage is permanent, like the feet thing.
I take 400 mg of Gap (neurontine) 3xdaily and have for the past 6 years, cymbalta, pamelor (for depression), and a couple others. I have permanent nervedamage in the left thigh and right calf and feet. I'm now experiencing nervepain in my elbows too. THe left side of my face with tingle like electric tingling and muscle spasms.
Karie how are you? I like my new job as Attendance Clerk. I have a nice large office all to myself and the high school students have been very repectful of me. I'm in a ruff area of Pasadena/Altadena. So I landed on my feet. My office mate at the site that "kicked me to the curb" is paying the price. Summer is coming and the weather will be warming up real soon!
