Re: Neuro visit, not really worth it Kathe

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathe,

Right now I don't ake Cymbalta, just Elavil. It's not covered by my

insurance and either is Lyrica. My nerve pain is mostly in my gluts

and and my upper hanstring on the right. Two Ultram seem to help

strangely enough. I read that on one of the sites when I research

the piriformis syndrome. Since I don't see my rheum till Nov I will

call next week to be seen sooner. Yes I do have fibrromyalgia which

I have had since 1992. Only recently symptoms started getting worse.

This board has been very helpful as my new one.

What is IMO?

warm hugs,

Debbie L
