@da20pilot How's the depression, Tom? My experience has been that pain elevates my depression, and depression makes me hurt more, and so on around the vicious circle. I'm assuming you take an antidepressant. Would talking with the psychiatrist about it help? Perhaps he/she would give you another medication that would enhance the one you're taking, at least to help you get through this really difficult time. And it's difficult on several levels. There are meds that are used this way. I took Abilify for a while, but it didn't produce the desired result. I found Mirtazapine a few months ago and it's really helped. Just a thought.
