Painful Man, If you are able to bear the cost I would suggest a combination of Lyrica and Cymbalta to help manage your pain.

I got disability even though I have two masters degrees, 40 plus years of increasingly higher levels of employment, etc. I once was the Director of a Vocational Rehabilitation Center, another time I was the Director of a Small Business Development Center. And there was a vocational expert was testif...

Elmwood, A long post I know, please bear with me. I know what you mean, the tingling can drive me crazy also. My scrotum, like electric current coursing through the lining. Sensations running back and forth through my penis at times, kind of racing. If I sit too long, like last night. I fell asleep ...

I had a 3T MRI done by Dr. Potter 1/4/2012. One of her findings was that "At the pelvic floor and dorsal margin of the penis there are markedly dilated varices ... compressing the dorsal nerves to the penis bilaterally, left greater than right." I have noticed the discussion as to whether ...

Hello, I do take 180 mg of Cymbalta each morning. I reached some pain relief at 120 but more at 180. I also have taken up to 1500 mg of Lyrica at the same time, now 600 mg.

I also take 180 mg of Cymbalta a day.

I think often I can get involved in doing something to the degree that I disregard or ignore the soft signals my body sends to let me know a bigger signal is to follow. You know engaged in something intellectually, physically even, instead of just waiting for the next shoe to fall. I often pay later...

I had some symptoms, mainly discomfort (strange sensations) in my penis for a few years. Probably related to constipation problems related to childhood abuse by father, secondary; side effects of medication for depression, etc. PN problems really started about 2 months after a fall on my buttocks in...

I take 108 mg of Concerta each morning to deal with fatigue. Concerta is timed release Ritalin and has helped me immensely. My main goal in trying Concerta was to heighten my alertness. I drive, use power tools, climb on my roof etc, if needed. In doing so, I had 3 falls, 1 slight car wreck, and oft...
