@patriciaschulz1950 So sorry you are dealing with this monster, also. IF you decide to try the Rejuvanator, please let us know. And though they say it is not on Amazon, I believe I DID find it there, as well.... and it would be easier to return through them.
I tried going without any beer or wine for several months, and I noticed NO difference in my problems.... so I now have a glass of wine with my meals, as was my custom before. This is MY experience, of course, and I can't recommend that others would have the same lack of effects. I take Prozac.... never tried duloxatene.... I believe they are similar? But it sounds like the duloxatene really helped your symptoms. I will ask my PCP about it when I see him in November.
An added issue for me is that I have a slight touch of AFib, so the cardio put me on Eliquis. And there were a couple of episodes of brief tachycardia, so he put me on Flecainide. Since I take those TWO meds, I can take NOTHING for pain except Tylenol. And sometimes I could use something stronger for the Arthritis pains I have.
I am considering...... and thinking about a spinal cord stimulator..... Some people say it helps.... others say it made no difference.... but we are all unique in how we respond. A fried got one a couple of weeks ago, and she has ZERO back and leg pain now.
I wish you the best!! Mike
