Yes, a neurosurgeon from Northwestern took an updated MRI and saw it and prescribed an internal tens unit to stop pain. I did not, so he does not want to see me again. It's been verified by other doctors at Loyola. The neurologist at Northwestern did absolutely nothing for me except testing for polyneuropathy which I have, and he only concurred what other neuros told me. So .. here I am not rich enough to afford alternative medicine.. I love Dr. Tennant. Just recently talked to him. Also, Medicare does not have any help for us either, because they will not cover anything we can try. It,s a loose loose kind of a deal . Trying to get put back on hydroxychloriquin again for some relief. But that's like banging your head against the wall. Lord take me?
thank you!
Thank you, the gabapentin being increased has helped some...I just hope that the cymbalta puts a kick in it.
