I do not know if I am going to try Effexor, I just know I can not

handle this anymore or all the meds they throw at you that have so

many side effects, I am just hoping that my doc will give me

something for the pain and set me up with a pain specialist.

I have read about the botox injections, who knows maybe worth looking

into, let me know if ou have any luck.

Thanks

-Hi Jen,

I am another one with ice often between my legs. I know what you

mean about all the meds. Between Lyica, Citalopram, prednisone, and

vicodin (and this is from someone who didn't even like to take

tylenol) I am just waiting for other symptoms caused by all the meds

to come up. Sometimes I think that my emotions are due to both

circumstances and meds. I thought I had a bladder infection at the

end of last week and I don't I guess. But now I am taking pyridium

just as needed. My doctor thinks its a reaction to all the

irritation there. I just couldn't believe this new symptom. I just

almost couldn't handle one more thing. It can be very overwhelming

to say the least. I hope you find something very very soon that

helps. Judy
