@cynbell I always hate to hear about this awful disease causing so much pain for some. If you won’t try gabapentin or lyrica you should research low dose naltrexone. It has helped many with severe autoimmune driven pain. There are numerous forums you can access online. I’ve read that starting at a low dose (.50mg.) and gradually increasing (4.50mg.) works best. FYI - Many people have used gabapentin and lyrica since their onset with no serious side effects, we only hear the from the others who unfortunately have. 🤞🏻

@helennicola thank you so much for your kind words. I am on Gabapenton 300mg, any higher dose makes my blood pressure drop and my legs swell. I tried Lyrica, Cymbalta, Effexor, Amitriptiline, the 1st 2 made me suicidal within days, the others just didn't help at all. I'll keep trying things...
