What I have learned with meds or other issues of concerns you need to be honest and upfront with your doc. Like for example I told my doc how scared I am with the neurontin and she is doing it slow. So maybe they can work out a better mix for example. If you keep going on and off or trying your own mixes you will not know what is working or what is not. I do know stopping or changing doses can have bad side effects. Sometimes docs put us on a combination cause one med works with another. I hope you find out more and sorry for what your going through.

You would think that they would go over some of the possible ways you might react to the shots such as short term relief, followed by a period of discomfort as the numbness wears off, followed by relief again. Its just get the next one in for the next shot so that i can make some more money today.
