I have neuro TOS which came from overworking on a computer. There is no doubt about the cause of the TOS.

Having said that, I became bedridden within 9 months of the illness, barely able to get up to go to the bathroom or doctors.

At about year 3, they put me on Cymbalta and Lyrica. My liver enzymes went up. No work comp doctors noticed or cared. (At the time I was too sick to notice, but then I took charge of my illness!)

Next, I got blurry vision.

Next, I got Type II Diabetes.

I stopped Cymbalta and Lyrica and my LEG CRAMPS disappeared.

Someone told me to try Benadryl for leg cramps at night. That actually CAUSED my leg cramps to go crazy!

What works now is that I have my home nurse work in aspercreme into my legs and feet each day - not too much that I get over-stimulated, but enough to make me feel better.

God bless.
