Shockingly to me, the pain is easing. This started at the end of week one. Now in week two, the redness in my toes is going away. I am no longer snapping at my poor husband.

I looked up the drug and found it was for epilepsy. This I don't understand. But I'll take it!

One downside is that I am very sleepy. I hope that as I adjust to this med I will not be as sleepy.

I wanted to post this because I have posted my sadness and pain many times. I wanted to share this little bit of happiness with you.

I hope every one of you find a pill that works for you like this is working for me. (at least it's working right now)
