Sorry, Judy . It really stinks trying all the different meds until you find one that works long term. I hope you get some relief soon .

What a bummer about the side effects. I have more problems with them in my search for pain relief. Wellbutrin was the only med that ever made my hands feel any better. After a few years, bam, a doozy of a siezure. Just like that my help was gone.

Keep searching, I've got my flashllight, maybe we can look together.

Hope they find something that works. Maybe once the blood work is in they can look into a lower dosage.

Sorry to hear about the med, Judy! I know what you mean, as the side effects sometimes outweigh the good the RX's are supposed to do. I sure hope the appt on Thurs is a good one and you and your Dr can find something helpful

take care.

that's too bad, about the tegretol.
i hope your dr can find a substitute that works.
they probably won't want to put you back on it at any dose but i'm just guessing on that.

i hope you feel better. i deal with a lot of pain too. i know how hard it is.

Thanks to all of you for your encouraging words and good wishes!!!! The "bloodsucker" was here this morning -- well, guess it was yesterday morning now -- for the usual Coumadin level check plus she took four more vials! My appointment with the pcp is at 6 o'clock tomorrow (today). Sleep problems??? Nah! At least the weakness and excessive aches have gone away but of course the nerve pain is back in all it's glory. Bah, humbug!!!!

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted my good friends!!
