Here is another drug in development:

Lpathomab is a biotech drug being developed by Lpath in San Diego. It finds & neutralizes fat molecules implicated in neuropathic pain.

after more than a year, nothing seems to have changed but the increase of the pain. Is there an imminent new product aproval on the pipeline?

Any knowledge to share with deep brain stimulation?

I am currently looking into rTMS as an option. I am starting to research to see what I can find on the topic.

I see that this technique is applied for depressive people. If you know anyone treated succesfully on neuropathic pain. please make me know it. I wonder how expensive can be those treatments. Hope you find help on this.

I was quoted a price of $13,000 for initial treatment with annual boosters required in the $3-4,000 range. THis is before insurance. As of now many insurance with cover this treatment for depression but not chronic pain.

So can you just ask your doctor to code your illness as depression instead of chronic pain? I think the two go together anyway.

The insurance company has a whole list of treatments that one must have failed before they qualify (ie failed 2 courses of antidepressants, being treated by psychiatrist, other things). I am working on trying to figure this all out since I clearly have developed depression/PTSD from this illness like a lot of us have.

Will keep you all posted as I am very interested in pursuing this if I can get it covered.

Did anyone try a couple of drops of oil 31 swissjust? I tried it a week ago, through the low pudendal way. It gave me a fresh sensation that calmed my pain for 2 hours and let me stay in the chair working. Not very academic post but sharing my experience.
