Bethann, to really help your mom, we need to know her history--what happened to her when, and what tests were done. It would help to ask doctors for copies of all tests done on her, and keep them in a looseleaf, so you can take them from doctor to doctor, as you look for the right one.

This is a great introduction to the computer for her, and I hope she comes on and joins us. It's even an excuse for buying a computer, and I do believe they've gotten relatively inexpensive lately.

Surprisingly to me, the PC Dr. agreed to work with her to find out what combo of meds will work for her. so now she is going to try Naproxen?? and Cymbalta. I'm just happy that the Dr is willing to try different drugs to help with the pain, unlike the Neuro who just said "Deal with it".

She had Kidney stones 6-7months ago, went in for surgery, and afterwards has been getting progress worse. 2 months ago the Neuro diagnosed her with PNeuropathy. So I don't know if the surgery brought the PN on, or was it something that was sneaking up on her. but guess that doesn't matter,
What matters is where are WE going to go next....because this condition does not affect just her.


Thanks for listening to my story.
