I was put on Ultram last week. I cannot tell you how much it has helped
me. I feel 70% better than I did before. I still have episodes where I
am double over crying but over all I feel better. I don't feel doped up
or in a fog but I don't feel normal. I have had a few episodes of
feeling like I was going to faint.
I am going on my 6th doctor in 2 years. Most want to keep me on BC
pills which have historically done nothing for me. I have had four
surgeries in 6 years. It took going to my interist to get the Ultram.
My next doctor is an infertility doctor who I hope will take a peek
inside.
