Three Cat Accidents....Permanently Disabled...now what
Posted , 3 users are following.
ASKING FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANY PART OF MY ISSUES PLEASE
I've been in 3 car accidents (none my fault) but they have left me with 7 herniated discs both cervical and lumbar, permanent nerve damage, loss of reflexes, degenerative disc disease, dvt from the neuropathy, massive edema, major migraines, radiculopathy (sp), muscle spams and now tremors, restless leg syndrome, insomnia from pain, and now fibromyalgia. I've done epidurals they don't work, I've tried physical therapy, I've had a facet block which didn't last as long as it was suppose to so not considered successful, was told I'm not considered a candidate for fusion surgery, and I take 16 medications daily including one for my acid reflux I developed from taking so many medications. My medications are getting too expensive 3 of them are $900 a month and i still have 13 more meds to pay for each month. One of these is Savella for the fibromyalgia. I've had almost every adverse reaction possible when I told my doctor I wanted to switch they just lowered the dose.....
I'm happy to share more of anyone had questions that may help pinpoint a better response.
PLEASE HELP ME! Does anyone have any suggestions to try for any of my issues. I can't image the rest of my life being like this.

As far as my meds they changed me from Savella to generic Cymbalta, we will see how it works but it's the only fibromyalgia med I can afford, they lowered my morphine back to 20mg er because I couldn't afford the 50mg er, and upped my hydromorphone from 4mg 6 times per day to 8mg but only 4 times per day so I'm really only on 8mg more per day but 30mg less morphine. So I feel like they lowered my meds rather than upped them. We will see.
Anyone on Cymbalta for their fibro? How does it work for you?

Still would love you hear from others on Cymbalta and how they are doing on it.
