I was interested to hear a drug called Lidocain mentioned as I haven't
heard of this before. I have tried to do a net search on this drug without
any success so would appreciate it if anyone could provide some information
on it. I have tried all other medications for pain control without success
so would be very interested to hear of others experiences with this drug
and also would like to know of possible side effects. Thanks very much for
your help.
I'm another one who has problems with cold and heat, we are in a heatwave
here and I'm longing for autumn to arrive!
Kay.

Netta,

Thanks for the tip about that other medicine! The whole reason we
subscribed to this list, initially, was to see if there was another
medicine besides gabapentin (neurontin)....having trouble with the side
effects and the VA is saying that is all that is available besides
baclofen. Thanks for the idea, you never know.
