Peripheral Neuropathy Pain Med

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

My husband has suffered from Agent Orange Diabeties and subsequent

Peripheral Neuropathy. Several years ago he was bedridden for a week

and could only return to work in a wheelchair. He was told by his

doctors he was dying and there was nothing that could be done except

to medicate with pain meds (narcotics like morphine and percocet.)

After talking to Mark, I wrote to Dr. Hayden about my husband's case.

He recommended Cymbalta, a new drug, that is used for depression and

neuropathic pain. It can take up to 6 weeks to see an improvement in

pain but sleep patterns and moods change and improve almost within

days. After witnessing the overall improvement in my husband, I can

simply say if you have peripheral neuropathy pain and disability

contact your doc and ask him to try Cymbalta.
