Thanks mrsD. At least I'm feeling hopeful with the new neuro I'm seeing. The amitriptyline was my idea--his intern, or whatever the other guy was, wanted me to try Lyrica, and I said "why do we always go for the most expensive and least tested first?" And the neuro agreed with me.

The last doc I went to (pain management) was punishing me because I decided I didn't want to be in their group PT/OT program, so wouldn't offer any other kind of treatment. That was pretty devastating, but at least now I feel some hope again.

Oh, and happy vacation!
