I spoke to a Dr. a few months ago RE: zinconitide. He is was very much in favor of it. However, I am unable to have anything invasive ( such as the pump) as it triggers of RSD or Fibro - (I have both) and will actually cause me more pain in the area invaded.
This Dr. said the Elan Co. was working on a pill form of this drug. NOt sure if this is accurate info. but it sure would be a lot better than having to do the pump and the invasive procedure for many people.
