What medication, if any are you taking for your pain now? I have sfn , idiopathic of course  |
Mariel, I was on Neurontin (gabapentin). I couldn't work as a PA on that- couldn't think quickly- bad drug for me. Dilantin was tried next and was the worst. I was eventually hospitalized for 10 days of a gram a day of Cortrosyn.
That's what rescued me.
Hope you find something more reasonable than that.
