Hi and Welcome~ I'm sorry you've had such terrible experiences with doctors. Most of us have too but many have finally found one who believes us and is taking care of us. It's taken many many years, at least for me, but at least I found one!

May I ask what your pain is from? I have degenerative disc disease (DDD), osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, several herniations, severe sciatica ~ I had 3 surgeries and that's part of the reason I'm disabled now. I take pain meds, naturally. By the way, Cymbalta is one of them. LOL. I also take Methadone, Topamax, and Lidaderm patches.

This is a great place to not only learn alot, but to meet some great people. Everyone here is very helpful. It's not always very active, but I like it here.

Again, welcome and I hope you're not hurting too badly today. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
