Good morning
I have had two brain surgeries, diagnosed and an ankle replacement. I have tried gabapentin, nortriptyline, Lexapro, hydrocodone and Cymbalta. I am currently on hydrocodone it helps. I had a lot of side affects from the medications and decided to come off all the drugs and try to figure out ways to live with the pain. When I was on the medications I could not tell what was due to the small fiber neuropathy or the side affects of the medications. Now I am at a cross roads do I continue trying to live with the pain which is robbing me of opportunities and retirement. With the small fiber neuropathy my body causes me pain anytime I do anything standing, sitting, walking and laying in bed. The only thing I have left is my ability to think clearly with the antidepressants and anti seizure medications I was no longer able to think clearly.
Has anyone else found themselves at this cross road I would like to hear both successes and and set backs.
Thanks
