Hi Jim

My PCP wants me to try Nortriptyline for added pain relief. I am already weaning off Duloxetine so once that's done, I will start Nortriptyline. We are scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm going to run this idea past my neurologist as well during my 2/6 visit. Have you Jim, or anyone else, used Nortriptyline and found success? Seems like I'm quite past this drug but, I'm no Dr.

In other news...my blood testing reveals continued high copper levels, which have been high for a year now. Neuro is sending me to a gastroenterologist to rule out any liver problems. Also, I'm below threshold on Aldolase and Alkaline phos. MCV is a little over threshold.

At this point low B12 is supposedly the blame of my SFPN, which has been pretty devastating to my life, therefore, I underestimate nothing.
