I am afraid so Mrs D. I just go from day to day - however, moaning is not my style but I fear anger is. Sixteen years of what should have been an enjoyable retirement and all the dotors can offer is an occasional oxycodone. My GP thinks my PN is now showing autonomic symptoms - I won't go into details.

You will no doubt gather from my rare posting how I feel about Neurontin but this was not so much an expression of anger as a desire to warn others. I can visualise all these highly paid doctors handing out scripts for Neurontin after receiving handsome gifts from Pfizer or Park Davis. I feel passionately about this and the boston.com article really confirmed my beliefs and pushed me into posting. Sorry if it was too long. I felt like going on forever after 16 years. I can just drive - with care of course - otherwise I would be housebound.

Our national health service is a disgrace and our hospitals have so many infections that only the young and strong get out alive. And there I think I will give my spleen at least a rest.

I do hope you are in one of your good phases and if so you continue to remain there. Thank you so much for asking after me and I apologise for the vent.
Tony
