Re: Need Support And Advice

Have your Doc look into Lyricia. It is 8-10x Neurontin, and most of
our patients have much better tolerance with this drug.

Thanks

Thank you for the responses. I would like to stay away from any
more pills and medication. I've tried neurontin and one other
neurologic medication to try and kill the nerve pain but no luck. That
just made me more tired. I really think if I can lose the weight and
strengthen my body, I will be able to live with the pain. Or at least
control it with over the counter meds. My doc has been great and he
has mentioned those other meds but I refused since I'm on too many as
it is.
I have a 3 year old son and I want to be able to have the energy to
play with him and do the things normal dads do. II'll never know if I
can function without the morphine unless I try. If I can't, at least
I'll know that for sure. I'm only 37. I've lived with back problems
since I was 15. I know I will have them as long as I'm alive. There
has just got to be a way to live with the pain that doesn't involve all
this medicine.
I joined the gym about a month ago. I have lost 12 pounds and I do
feel better. I know that this will be a long, long process. I will
post my progress as I try to do this. Maybe there are other folks
trying to do what I'm doing. If they're out there, maybe they can
share their experiences. Never underestimate the power of support.
