@kathyoung: Kathy, I have dealt with chronic, seemingly unbearable pain, so I can relate to your feelings (Lower lumbar, bilateral kidney stones, cancer). We are each individuals and our chemical make-up different; therefore, our bodies react differently than perhaps our mds predicted. Please advocate for yourself - I have found my researching treatments before my md appt arm me with info regarding specific meds my dr suggests. We need docs that listen to us! Talk to your friends and peers about treatments available and even the md they are happy with. You are important and need best meds to relieve your pain as much as is possible. Best health ahead…

Thank you so much. I do exercise, primarily because I need a knee replacement and I’m trying to keep the muscles and joints moving. I go to the gym and bike as well as do exercises for my shoulders BUT I have slacked off recently so I will get myself back there! It would be good if it helped the depression too. I had breast cancer a year ago as well, stage 1 with no lymph gland involvement, I was very lucky and I don’t think that contributed to the depression but maybe I’m fooling myself. I also lost my best friend to cancer in June. That has left a huge void in my life, she was a soul mate and I miss her terribly. Now that I’m writing this I guess it seems obvious, I just wish I could lose this feeling of nervousness I have all the time. I do have Adavan as well but I try not to take it often.
Thank you all for the support!
