HI JUDD,,,, there is chat room, on left side of screen!!!  WE alll get super frustrated at times... Sometimes you all get new meds before we do also... Sometimes,,, """"" wet hot towels""" that has been heated in microwave,, for several seconds helps pain...   I wonder tho,,, have you been diagnosed with  RSD?????  But hot towels willl help  most people...  But not all. PAIN affects everyone differently.. All of us are at different levels of  pain an disease also.. I am hoping that you can get relief from the pain... U may want tooo ask your doctor about   """Tomapax""""""  less side affects with that one.. Most of  antidressants willl make you gain weight.. And most  drs.. do not know how too treat pain.. That is sad part of all our beasts we suffering from... I am sooo sorry that  this is not the  news anyone wants too hear or read..   Reason we all need tooo vent at times.. But unless you have RSD,,, u cannot  imagine what we are suffering neither..I have also severe rhumatoid autheritis,,,  an oesteo. that has taken bones out of my feet.....  DRS do not know what too do with pain neither.. I do not want too stay knocked out all the time.. I need too be able too function mentally.  Sometimes that is hard for most of us....   SO please know we do understand...... annie
