I'm baaaack!

Well, the appointment went rather well.
Here is the run down.
Next week I am getting my first trigger point injections.
He is taking me off Soma and putting me on Baclofen. Any advice on Baclofen would be appriciated.
He is also giving me Lidoderm patches but there is a problem. They are so darn expensive. I know there are people on it who read my Blog. How do you afford it??? Again any advice is appriciated.
The last thing is he is putting me on a med that is normally for irregular heartbeats that helps the nerves around the heart. I think it is Mexiletine....I forgot what he said. I have to go the hospital and do an IV test first to see what level he should give me. In case I have a reaction, I am there and I won't have to just get a pill and deal with bad side effects.
So I am happy with the appointment. I am just nervous about how I am going to pay for those patches which sound like a godsend for at night, when I hurt the most.
Any advice would be appriciated about the meds I just talked about.
Thanks for being there in spirit with me.....I was really scared.
