Hi Margie
I went to the new pain doctor on Friday. He switched me for Gabapentin to Lyrcia. I've only been on Lyrcia since Wednesday, so the pain in not good right now. (It's never good) I really didn't care for the doctor, but they do try other treatments than medication. I go back on August 31st. I'll keep you posted on anything that works for me.
You take care. Talk to you soon.
Patti

@pschulte Hi Patti, I’m sending you some Saturday morning hugs (along with my daily prayers for you!)
I do detest being so far down the PHN road and knowing my health history in this department is probably pretty depressing for you. You have that dang RA to deal with, and your back surgeries…yikes! The worst I’ve added to my repertoire with the PHN is gall bladder surgery and a bout with Lyme disease.
I looked at my jeans that seem a little too long and can’t even imagine cutting off 5 whole inches! You ARE one amazing woman, Patti, never forget that❣️
