I don't really want to do the LSB's more because I have a problem with how that was all handled but I am willing to try anything. Just can't get any docs to play along with the insurance.
Errrrrr, Insurance!

At the risk of sounding like a bigger whinner, I'm not sure I am wanting to attempt another medication with "weight gain" as a common side effect. Seeing as this is a weight bearing joint/limb I cannot see another 10 pounds (or more) being a good thing. I gained 18 pounds in 2 weeks on my last gaba run.
