Hey Jo.....
Bet your Doc is talking about Lyrica. Heard lots of pros and cons. I am so med sensitive I spend half my life trying meds and getting sick from them. No one listens, just wants me to try others. I have a boat load of bottles I can't take. Now I'm on this stupid road again because my ins. co. demands I take 4 different pain meds before they will authorize LIDODERM PATCHES!!! Long rant would follow if I felt good enough. It took 4 years of every pain med on market to find 2 I can take (and I already do). Don't need......just want the stupid lidoderm.
I always hung out at Chronic Pain mostly and Spinal Disorders. I didn't post a whole lot though but my life revolved around the info and support for many years. When I needed the caretakers forum, it hadn't been born yet.
Don't worry about being nuts......you have a lot of company (speaking for myself only

)
I hope you get your forums soon. Keep posting........bigger font maybe????
Many Hugs and Blessings for you
