Hi Lynn,

Shows you the level of help I've been getting. And this from Yale-New
Haven hospital...I thought teaching hospitals were supposed to be on the
cutting edge of things...I've gotten MORE info from the tmic-list in the
past few weeks than I've gotted in YEARS of doctoring with this.

Imho, the state of the medical profession is in the dark ages,
particularly when it comes to diagnosing illness. I'm sorry if I sound
angry, but I am! I'm in a lot of pain right now, because I have a new
boss and he is working me like a dog. He is aware of my health
situation, and when I met him he told me: "your health is most
important to me.." yah right.

I'm going to start nagging my doctors about Neurontin tomorrow. Maybe
it won't help, but it's worth a try!
