Normally I would, but as I stated above cannabis doesn't help that much anymore, and makes the pain worse when I consume too much. Regardless, my doctor flat out refuses to help me get any narcotic painkillers, but this new stuff nortryptaline seems to be working already (which is surprising).

plus I"m already scheduled to see the rhuematologist and neurologist (FINALLY!). Accupuncture worked great for a while, but then its effectiveness started to wear off and the sessions got painfull. Anywhoo, I seem to be getting the pain under control now, as I tend to go through a spurt of several weeks of agony, then get a few weeks of only moderate pain. I think this Nortryptaline is really going to work since I'm already seeing mild results, and the doc said it would take about 1-2 weeks for full results.

Thanks to everybody for listening though . I'll be happy to try to help you all out with your problems too.
