Joe and MrsD,
I have had many years of PN, some years better than others, etc.

Most meds given to me to supposedly help my PN did not help PN, they had grossly worsened PN. When I had finally realized this and told my Neurologists this, they would not believe me. I'd quit the med anyway. I went through several Neurologists because they would not listen and/or were not looking out for my best interests. Eventually, more and more Neurologists understood this could happen. Please be careful with meds. I have been very ill for almost 30 years and I now wonder just how much of this illness and disability was/is longer term effects of drug-induced illness.

So glad you check thoroughly into meds, Joe. We are so fortunate to have MrsD also avail to assist us!

For now, I'd just like to thank each of you for all you are sharing here.
You are each doing a great service for many other readers, some also suffering the ongoing pain of PN.

With Sincere Gratitude,
DejaVu
