Hello,

I have been diagnosed for a little over two years now and this seem, like many others, to be the worst thing that has happened to me. I hurt an burn, neuroropathic pains, all day everyday. I have been prescribed 1400mg of gabapentin 3 times a day plus Baclofen. Recently, they have given me Lyrica to try and one other. It has not helped and my depression is worsting. I live a lone but that has been jeopardized once already. Where I had to go to a homeless shelter because I an out of money. I have applied and been denied for Social Security benefits. This has also left me unable to afford to visit the doctor or get my medicines. I hate this disease...I mean really. I want to pull my skin off. Then I fear a future with it because just this short period has been horrible.
