hi jess
thank you for your update.i have been trying to get well for over three years. i have been through the ringer as well. i am so glad that you were able to go to Germany. i have heard and read a lot of good remarks about this doctor. i wish i had the money to go see him. i am having to get back into pain mgt. i hate taking pills! i have been on everything that ends with cet, ine, and well you see where this is going? i too drink alot of wine. that is why lyrica would not work for me. i only have few very pleasures any more, take my wine away and whats the point? keeping the hope, cheryl
