That comment made me laugh as I from time to time wonder if my evil nieghbor has a Voo do doll. when you suddenly feel pain in an odd place you get a little crazy. My symtoms began shortly after a major falling out. I'm sure the stress did not help either.

Sorry for only just replying. A family member's been ill, Brandon (my neuropathy gnome) has been a pest, and I've been writing articles (and editing out the brain farts!).

You mentioned cymbalta/duloxetine 90mg? Do you find it gives you more energy?

If it doesn't work, I'll be asking the doc to go back on the gabapentin. I find pregabalin leaves me with no energy, and doesn't really help the pain that much (but does sleep). Gabapentin left me slightly manic, and still in pain and existing on too little sleep, but I had the energy to live life and have a quality of life. Neither is perfect... but if I don't take either *poof*... the nerve plain leaps all over the place, and ten to the dozen.

Thanks for replying, and hope things continue to go well for you

Joe
