Thanks for answers to my questions I really appreciate it. Jan

Hi Jan, I take Cymbalta which was just raised to 90mg. I know some people do not like this but it has worked well for me. I will tell you that when I first started it my symptoms seemed to incrrease but once by system adjusted to the med it clamed down. I also take synthyroid because I have hypothyroid. I take I take Plaqunil 200mg at night. I also take Tramodal for the pain on a as needed basis. I also take B12 every morning.
Currently, my neuro does not want me to add any more supplements. He wants to do more testing and said he does not want me to muddy the waters.
I do have neuropathy from head to toe. The only area that is spared is the left side of my face. It does seem to be creeping across my nose though. The accupressure seems to aleve my symptoms a little and believe it on not it lifts my spirits some. Accupressure is different fomr accupuncture. NO needles it is shiatsu. Done with the hands on trigger spots.
I hear your frustation. I go through it a lot too. Today I seem to be in a good place but did wake up in a lot of pain this morning. The best advice I can give to anyone with this, is to keep yourself active to your limit. Keep your mind occupied. Give yourself a break once in a while. I have begun to realize that I can't be super anything anymore. I can only do the best I can. I hoope this helps you. Try to find something that reduces your stress(I know that is easier said then done) butI do find that stress raises my pain level significantly. Hope this helps, hopeful
