Hi there LeAnn
I'm sooooo glad to hear that you finally got in there! Good! And evern
better that you like the guy! I've never heard of neuropathy but am
interested in whatever you find out. The only med you mention that I
know about is Paxil; its really helped me a lot!! How long does he
think it will take for the meds to start to kick in and give you some
relief? Soon I hope!
Take care and painfree wishes,Amy
