[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 396871, member: 1233"] The skin is nerve pain. It used to come and stay for a day or two and go, but in the last few months it has not gone away. It is sheer, unadulterated he&&. Unlike when you touch something and at first it bugs you but then you stop registering it, I often register it for hours/days on end. Nothing really helps. Have used several medications for nerve pain and they helped some, but not a lot. Certainly not enough to justify the enormous cost and the hideous side effects. I think that part of why my extended family thinks I am so "angry" is that if I have clothing on I am usually struggling not to cry from the pain. Of course they claim that I am making this all up because "no one can live with pain like that and you aren't dead so it isn't happening" - a sick phrase I have heard for decades to describe my migraines, fibro, the bone pain, the arthritis, etc.... It is bad enough that sometimes I wish I was dead. At that point I get in touch with my therapist and up my antidepressants. I am NOT a danger to myself and would NOT hurt myself because it would devastate my kids and leave them unprotected from my family. The nights are the worst for some reason. Not sure why. I will look for one of those claws. I used to have one but it broke very very soon after we got it. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
