Hi,
I have been having episodic migraines often for around 7 years now and foot and back pain for 2.5. My foot pain has progressed since July. My first diagnosis are neuromas for which I will get surgery. Then I developed burning heel pain in July too, which no one has been able to help me with. My first diagnosis was tarsal tunnel syndrome, but my nerve was measured and it came out negative. My second diagnosis for my heel pain is plantar fasciitis. Mine is chronic. I need surgery for it or special therapies that doctors aren't offering me. All of the doctors stay stuff like 'We don't know what it is' or 'Use paracetamol and put ice on it.' I am really at the end of my rope here-I haven't been able to work since July because my job involves standing all day. I am in pain almost every day and no doctor takes me seriously. I have been to 15 doctors. Every day I am at the doctor's office or calling doctors. I have travelled for 1000s of kms around my country to find a solution to no avail.
at what point does one give up and die? I have a family and a BF, they are depending on me. My BF tells me he cannot live without me (but he told me that in the beginning of my relationship anyway) but he is supportive of my ctb. I would devastate my other family members though. I cost them a lot of money with al my bills because I can barely work.
I would like to live a few years more, but not many more. What would you do? Give up? See another 15 doctors? The heel pain has gotten much worse in these months. Would you ctb over this?
I cannot go on, I am cripple with no future. It is unbearable.

I can't answer your question. I am not in your shoe and I don't feel the pain you have.
Therefore, you have to decide for yourself if CTB is the right choice. Weight out the pros and cons for CTB.

Tho, the fact that you really try to fix your problem is a sign that your will to live is greater than wanting to CTB. So keep trying then. Good luck.

thanks. I actually don't have much will too live and have no survival instinct, I just don't want to hurt my family. If there was the slightest chance that they could somehow slog on without me without being fully devastated, I would be out of here on the next bus.

I'am so pain intolerant, especially physical pain, that what u have going on would be enough to make me ctb. I'm not telling u to do it but I can totally understand it if u did. I would explain to your family in a letter so they will understand.

Very sorry to hear this. If you have will to live, I think it might be better to try with some other doctors too. Yeah, you have already seen many doctors but may be a try is worth it..If you want to hang around with your family and bf. Wish you luck
