Oh no! I hope he gets good sleep tonight, being up all night stinks, especially if you are up because the pain is so horrible.

It's always one step forward and two back, isn't it. I feel so bad for you, I was up last night with Ray too because he couldn't go to sleep and he seemed weird. But this morning I found his mirtzipine pill on the floor and the moment passed. But I feel your tiredness. Can't wait to hit the sack tonight.

Sure hope he gets some rest tonight and you too Nancy! I remember when Mike had all that neuropathic pain. He would literaly cry from it and no med seemed to touch it. Don't want to go through that again! His has seemed to have subsided for the most part but sometimes he does have his moments.

Nancy: so sorry. We have talked about this. You have the meds ordered if needed and you have to use them. And just Pray! that they work. Get him into bed, where he is safe and just hope he gets some relief and some sleep. You don't sleep. You may doze.

Go easy. You did great. It takes what it takes. Try to get some rest. Debbie

Sorry to hear about Dan's pain problem in his feet.

I also have problems with foot pain. I have found a few things helpful. I have a inexpensive foot massager. It is heated and claims to use foot points. It does give your feet a massage and heat. I find that using it for 20 minutes or so makes a difference. I also have an air tub (similar to a jet tub). Spending 20 minutes with the jets on my feet helps.

Another option is acupuncture which I have also found helpful. You might also consider shiatsu massage. In both of these situation be sure to do research first.
