Re: Neuro visit, not really worth it Debbie

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie:

Sorry that you have been given yet another diagnosis,

but at least you now have a name for your pain. I am

sorry the neuro did not help you more. It could be

some of the meds I take for nerve pain might have

helped you - I take Cymbalta (which is an

anti-depressant but is also used for Fibro pain) and

Lyrica (which is also used for diabetic peripheral

neuropathy pain). Both of these meds help with my leg

pain, and might help you - ask your doctor about it.

Seems awful that all they can do is keep injecting

you.

Have you been dx with fibromyalgia? If not, something

to look into, IMO. Take care -
