gbsb...I'm glad they were able to work out all your MRI issues! I did gain weight on Lyrica, as well as get dizzy, but I just restarted it this week for possible RSD symptoms. I didn't want to, but I need to weigh (pun unintended!) the pros and cons, and figured weight gain, while unpleasant and unhealthy, has nothing on RSD!

I tried Cymbalta one day, and got so nauseated I decided I'd never try it again!

Anyway, hope things go well for you with the surgeon...that is so irritating when they brush you off like that. But at least you found a good PM doc!

Take care...
Donna
