+1 to this.

My mom has Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome.

She has gone to many dozens of doctors and gotten to the point where they all basically eventually say "we cant help you anymore". Which is just SUPER sucky if anyone hasn't ever reached that point with doctors before.

She's gone through everything from morphine to marijuana and everything else in between. Nothing really has any impact unless she is basically is a borderline drug induced coma and more or less unconscious. She is just in constant pain. She can't do anything or go anywhere anymore. She cries most days and has had various sporadic times of suicidal thoughts in the past. She doesn't want to commit suicide but I know she would immediately pursue euthanasia if it was available and legal. And while Oregon does, she wouldn't qualify there. She isn't having any suicidal thoughts right now, but not everything in life is "tomorrow there is hope" or there is hope in the future.

Sometimes the best we can do is try and find occasional moments of happiness or find other things to look forward too. I do my best to try and help but there comes a point where there just isn't anything to be "done".

Sometimes life just sucks, and there is no "hope". Not everything has a 'fix'. You just learn to deal with it.
