I had allodynia via shingles. It was absurdly painful, discomforting, so on. My ankles can be tender, though usually when things are firing off.

Tramadol is what I typically take, as needed. It has been daily for awhile, though not always the total daily dose. My insurance refused a refill because of the hydrocodone prescribed for shingles being within a tight time period.

Fine, taking 1/2 or whole hydrocodone as needed since. I prefer the lack of snri effect. I am a bit of a chatterbox with tramadol at times. I'd choose the hydro, though in reality I'd prefer to attempt a green approach.

I sm hoping New York gets it together.

I feel for anyone with full time allodynia.

My best,

Jon
