Thank you for your replies!

I have been with a neurologist in the Stanford University area/hospital, who
does specialize in MS, for all this time. I was diagnosed with
relapsing/remitting MS 25 yrs. ago. My flare ups happened about every 3 yrs. I
have had all the tests. Spinal tap, numerous MRI's. Have been on prednisone
which really did nothing for me and I suffered no side effects. The pain I have
is known but is not "usual". My doctor says this may go away. Of course I told
her I don't believe her. I feel so awful I went to a site called Patients Like
Me and the drugs I'm taking are all there and more! The only time I am not in
pain is if I manage to be sleeping. As soon as I move "it's back". It has not
always been this way. Only for about the last year and a half. It is a
disappointment to wake and realize that I am still here, still hurting and
having to endure yet one more day.

Hey Freebie, Sorry to hear about your downward spiral! I hate to suggest another medication on top of all you're taking but what about getting on a stronger...
