Willow, ty for your advise . Are the 2 meds for nerve pain taken orally? Are they antidepressants? I’ve heard that antidepressant can help but a bit tentative about taking those. I already take Lexi pro.
Thanks again

Yes the 2 meds for nerve pain are pills taken orally. Amitriptyline is an antidepressant. It is frequently used for nerve pain. The problem with LS is that although the flares can be controlled, the nerve damage is not repairable. That is why I use the two meds and they give me back a normal life. I do have to be careful not to swim in cold water or ride a horse which is fine with me anyway.
