Hi
Teresa,
I echo the
other mails you have received, try and see another Dr or pain clinic. I have had
TM for 12 years, T8/9 paraplegic with SLE and am currently going through the
pain clinic to adjust my meds (as it is 6 years since my last review) and
try some other methods, eg. I go next week for a trial with a TENS unit, to
help with the pain. I have had a fairly good run over the last 6 years on MS
Contin along with amitriptyline, mexiletine and Celebrex. Unfortunately it is
not a pain that all Drs will identify with and often we have trouble describing
it accurately. When I was first diagnosed one Dr (a Professor!) had the bright
idea of severing my spinal cord as that would stop all the pain (!!) Needless to
say I immediately sought another opinion. Hope you can find someone who
understands and can help you.
Be well,
Love Karyne
