Hi
My nhs neurologist set out plan which she sent to my doctor l started on pregabalin for 6 month's got to maximum dosage side effects terrible pain no better. I've been on duloxetine for over a year up to 120mg been weaned off for 4 day's over 8 week period 20 mg at a time l fill terrible all my past pains and numbness have come back from my toes to backside also hands head zaps and feeling down your right 40mg to 60mg is the right level for me it did help with pain l will just have to live with it. Doctor has now prescribed amitriptyline 10 mg at night l will wait two week's before l start. It's been tough for 3 years major operation, chemo for 6 month's oxaliplatin which caused nerve damage also 25 visits radiotherapy I'm still alive 😃 permanent stoma with a hernia also . Good news l had my 3 yearly ct scan with contrast and no recurrence of bowel cancer happy day's ahead nice to talk appreciate your feed back regards Kenneth
