You are welcome Ksos. Having been in chronic pain for more of my life than not watching someone else get the chance to have a procedure like this makes me so happy!

One of the friends I mentioned did go back on oral meds, she chose to take something for breakthrough pain rather than have a slightly higher dose on the pump on a regular basis. Everyone is different.

I didn't know Neurotin potentiates narcotics. That would make sense. I could never tolerate it, not even at 50 mgs. When on it, I would literally sit down and fall asleep. Never had that problem with Lyrica. Now I know why!

I'm glad to read you have a good sponsor willing to help you deal with the issues you may come across in NA. That will help you keep your recovery strong
