That is awesome news about your visit. Sounds like you have found someone knowledgeable and that really cares.
I have SFN and at my first appointment with my PM dr approx. a year ago we were discussing options for pain relief. One was methadone and it was actually his first choice for me. The only problem was that I would need to have either an echo or EKG (can't remember which) every 6 months. I had 2 reasons for not trying the methadone. 1. I wasn't driving at all due to the pain caused by vibrations in the car. 2. I have already had a heart ablation done to 11 places in my heart for PVC's and I believe this medicine can increase the arrhythmias.....something I don't really want to have to do again....I was wide awake for the ablation....Ouch ! But with that being said I really like what I read about methadone in the treatment of pain. When I'm in a bad flare like right now I do think of trying something else and I could possibly try methadone now that I can drive short distances but would need to talk to my cardio dr first. Please keep us posted so we can follow your journey  Debi from Georgia |
