Results of Dr Goldenberg Appointment

Well, things went pretty good. He seems pretty impressed by what I am trying to accomplish with as little meds as possible. I told him what didn't work (Neurontin and Cymbalta) and what seems to (all the other meds I am on) and what has changed in the last 18 months since I last saw him.
Well, he wants me to go on Lyrica as soon as it becomes available in the US, which should be by the fall according to him. Unforuntately it was due to be out a year ago but because of the whole Cox-2 issues during the past year, the FDA are being very cautious of meds that help with pain. Eventhough Lyrica, which is more like Neurontin, than Bextra and Vioxx, they are being super-cautious and want to make sure that no mistakes like those that occurred happen again.
Beyond that, he is happy with my overall health and wants me to try and excercise more. I try but working out is still a new thing for me.
Now I will wait for the letter he will send my doctors and myself and see what the definite suggestions will be.
As usual they went as expected...even getting lost in the hospital....again! Too Funny
Oh well, the price of going to a big hospital an having no clue where you are going.
That is all for now. See you all next update!
