Default I saw this, and well,

think that ingesting Fentanyl might be a good way for some. But a phase 3 clinical trial of less than 150 people? And for only 12 weeks - those are my concerns.

That it has not gotten FDA approval yet, even only a very small clinical trial is encouraging because of the aspects mentioned above and that it could be an effective way to help people. But, the 'documentation' for neurontin for PN [actually far less by way of clinical work] when it was pushed 5 years ago, was not only poor it was inexcusable and docs bought it.

I certainly wish that the 90%of the medications and treatments we are helped by get OFF the 'off-label' use menus in our lifetimes.

The good thing is that they've gotten beyond the MOUSE MODEL stages tho?

David, I hope you have a whole lot more pain-free times and continue to improve! Good thoughts to you always - j
