Hi, I tried Neurontin (Gabapentin) a few years back and it had absolutely no effect at all. It was an expensive placebo as far as I was concerned. Hope you...
I also tried Neurontin and it did nothing. I've read that some people take massive amounts of it and that they have some results but personally, I would not...

I would not want to take massive amounts of the stuff and I won't. If this doesn't work in the next three weeks, I'll be upgraded to Lyrica, which I'm told,...
I was recently prescribed Lyrica - I've been taking it for about 3 months now. It has knocked down the Fibromyalgia symptoms fairly significantly and the...

Hi Mary, Kayti, thought that I would get back to you with my disappointing visit to University of Virginia (UVA) hospital where I was referred to see a Dr....
Sue, I am so sorry to hear about your appointment. I just went through nearly the same thing with a PM doctor recently. After working with his clinic for two...
Hi, May I inquire how much does the treatment/surgery by Dr. Filler cost, independent of travel and hotel accommodations? And would his work be or not be...
Hi Julie, thanks for your encouraging words. Back to the grindstone with the bureaucracy. It keeps me on my toes!!!! Maybe we should all travel together to...
Mary, Thank you for the info. I'm wondering if the survey asked what type of surgery was used and was one type more successful than the other.....or, were...
Hi Sadie. The survey doesn't ask who did the surgery, though I might be able to identify some of Filler's cases if they wrote comments referring to him. Also...
For Sue & Julie Reading your account Sue, I’m not in the least surprised. I have been through the same in the UK. It was a senior physio at the best...
Hi Stuart I have the following info but these costs (valid as at August 20007) are for self-funding or out of town patients. Charges for the Cedars Sinai are...
Hi Joyce, thanks for that comprehensive list of all the costs. I did enquire about a year ago. I had got my head around paying but it was only when I joined...
Mary, thank you again for the help....if I only knew a single person who has had this issue I would be happy to send them the survey! Guess that's part of the...
H Joyce, thanks for that, I will drop them an email today. Getting desparate as I cannot put up with this pain much longer. And yes I am a liverpudlian AKA...
Hi Joyce, I contacted Kimberley Jackson, Admin Assistant at the Nerve Med Institute ( Tel 310-314-6410). She was very helpful. I did ask if Dr. Fillers...
Susan A. - I think the really big problem is getting a realistic hospital cost estimate. I think Donna was told about $50,00/ hospital by Filler's office...
Well, I guess until I am REALLY DESPERATE, I will sneer at these prices Filler charges. I read the success rates that he reports in the article Does anyone...

Hi all, I had bilateral surgery with Dr. Filler in October and I think I have all the bills now. My bill with Dr. Filler was just over $20,000. So far my...
Hey Stuart, I did physical therapy targeting these areas and my core for over a year and while I ended up with a kick butt core, it did nothing for the pain in...
Sadie - I have not had surgery nor do I expect to have it. I, like Jerry W. ( see message #1641) have spent years trying different PTs & manual therapies. I...
Stuart asked " Does anyone yet have any stats that address the issue of success rates and coordinated criteria of success that are independent of Filler's ...
Hi Donna, thanks for the info on costs. You said your portion of Cedars will be over $2,000.00....did you mean $20,000? I know it's all a lot of money but...
Free for me but only at home. At the clinic, free is not a word in their dictionary. And nothing I do as yet has successfully eliminated all pain. It comes...
