Michael,
We are all very worried about you. At the very least you *must* get a friend to to take your guns away from you. I knoe that you are having difficulty with pain management doctors in your area, but I believe that there are clinics which specialize in this area. If your insurance will cover the care, do you have enough money to make a trip somewhere. There's one at UC Davis. Perhaps they can make a referral to somewhere on the East Coast. Or call Duke Medical School.
Your family doctor sounds very compassionate, and since he knows how bad things are for you, I'm sure he'd help you find an appropriate place. UNC's Medical School has a pain management program in their neurology department. Here's the e-mail howardj@glial.med.unc.edu
Take care,
Abby
