Sherry,
I don't have any experience with the pain, but I just wanted you to know we do care, and want to hear when you need to vent. I'm so sorry you are going through this, and feel neglected at home right now. I will definitely be praying for God's touch on your body right now, and keep on the doctors to find the right combo to help you. Just wanted you to know I will be thinking of you.
Beckie
