@swartzki Hi, it's Lori. I am 68, and retired. There is no way I could work with my foot neuropathy. I would have had to claim medical disability had I had this neuropathy when I was working. Mine started immediately after breast cancer surgery, almost 2 years ago. Neuro docs checked for an auto immune response to the breast cancer tumor, but the test showed nothing. Perhaps the radiation caused the neuropathy. I will never know. God awful. Successful breast cancer surgery, and now, neuropathy. Who woulda figured? I will look into the Tramadol for the flu like symptoms. Thanks much. Lori Renee

Tramadol made me feel so nauseous that after trying it a few times I took more than 45 pills back to the Pharmacy for disposal. Thank goodness I had a good drug insurance plan! It's worth noting it didn't touch my pain either - so Tramadol is on my 'do not bother' list.

Drugs are weird that way. They work well for some but not others.
