Hi Mom
I've been thinking about you because you were having a tough time of it, I'm really happy that you are finding some relief with new meds. I like Cymbalta, and take 30 mg twice a day. Are you on any anti-seizure meds? I also take Topamax along with the Cymbalta, I used to take Neurontin but I get really bad "RSD" headaches and Topamax is commonly perscribed for migraines so I switched. When I was first diagnosed I tried Lyrica but it made me nuts (I was screaming at my kids and poor husband a lot!) so I didn't stay on it for very long.
My PT arranged for me to get a TENS unit last week. I like it. For you it would only help one or two painful areas at a time, but its certainly worth a try if your insurance will cover it.
I hope you were able to get some home PT visits approved.
Keep us posted on your progress!
Sandy
