Clarkstar - Glad to hear you are slowly improving. I don't like those massagers. I tried one once and it made me hurt more too. Never again. And, I'm sorry about the Avonex. I don't take it so I've never experienced what you have described. I can't remember but are you just starting Avonex? And, I wonder why Medicare won't cover Cymbalta. I only took it for 3 days. It was awesome for nerve pain but horrible for my emotions, in fact, it was pretty scary.

As of the cost of meds, do you qualify for extra help through Medicare for your prescriptions. It's an awesome program and has totally saved me. This is the link to the program. http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Eligibil...Cov/index.html
