David,
Would be great to meet...soon! If Dorothy and I get to go to the Sept. meeting and drive, we'd try to meet then.
The new med is: DULOXETINE (Generic for CYMBALTA) HCL DR 30 MGCAP. I take it once a day around 9AM with food. It's REALLY HELPED! You can read up on it and may suggest it to one of your doctors. From what I read, some people take 60 MG a day. I've notice when I mow our yard (using a riding mower), and empty the two bags (waist level), like I did this past Monday, a couple days afterwards, I had light pain in my lower back/right hip. This morning, no pain. Overall, it's been a life-saver. Like I mention, I still take 30 MG of Morphine SULF ER twice a day.
Getting ready to go for my monthly Firmagon/Xgeva injection/shot!! FUN...FUN...FUN, but so thankful that it's working (along with everyone's prayers).
Take care,
Dave
