I take a/d's for pain and have since dx. I don't tolerate meds well and even a tiny bit a relief is welcome. That's all I get a smidgen of relief. My anti-siezure med is more helpful though.

I am glad to hear Namenda worked for you. Too bad insurance won't cover it. Can you have them make an exception? Your doc'a office may have to get involved and advocate for you. I'd try, because pain relief is hard to come by.

Thanks for sharing your story.
