While on the Tensilon, I noticed a drop in pain. I'm on Mestinon and prednisone now, and until I fell Friday and developed shingles on top of it all, yes, the pain all but vanished! Even this "bursitis" in my knee from after replacement surgery had gone. 1prescription of oxycodone (small dose) lasted me for 4 months, two of them without any painkiller at all. Well, ok, except when T.S. came through. Weather sets everything off with me! Now, of course, I'm a mess again. Neuro almost won the Leg War today, which was depressing. I have been on a horse since a baby, and with "fibro", still managed to go from 20 minutes up to a 5 mile distance ride. Now I will have to start over, if I ever get stable enough to get back up.
