Did you know? That you can now get "Pregabalin" through your doctor then collect it over the counter? Well, you can in New Zealand.
I went to the doctors about 2 weeks ago now and found that I can now get "Pregabalin" through my doctor not a specialist order.

They know that stress is… read more

Has anyone here been diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis?
I had glandular fever (mononucleosis) for the second time a year ago and since then i have had undiagnosed pain/fatigue. I know that myalgic encephalomyelitis effects everyone differently and I am now fairly confident it may be that.
Choosing a Pain Doctor, What questions do/would you ask to qualify that Doctor?
I was lucky and my first Pain Doctor was a master. Her skills were at instructor level. Now she is retiring, can't blame her but now must replace her.

Deb was probably up Thursday night doing a brochure, will print it Friday afternoon… read more
