    Useless drugs

    Hi all, Since I was diagnosed (and before), I've probably tried every OTC drug I can think of to help with my pain, and am amassing a real pile of useless drugs. The Cymbalta helps my pain most of the time, but when it's bad it's bad, and nothing else I've tried will help. My counter is...

Definitely hit a downward spiral a few years ago when I went...
