He suggested that I try Lyrica, but the price!! Even with discount programs it is about 170. a month.
I can not afford to start any alternatives. Holistic meds, laser therapy, accupuncture, accupressure, massage, sound like a wonderful option, once I have... an income. (I think I recall getting these sorts of suggestions last time)
My Dr and I have this very frustrating conversation each visit. I say: "The meds are too strong and not addressing the pain right. Can we try something else." He says: "You're already on some pretty strong meds, I don't want to give you anything stronger yet." So before initiating this back and forth with my Dr. I want to bring examples to him of what other peoples Doctors are doing, medicinally.
Thanks in advance, whoever might respond. I'll try to remember what responses I get this time ;)
