Thanks for drawing my attention to this, razz

Maybe Dejerine could explain to me the significance of this new med and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition and its significance. Dejerine,? are you here somewhere?

Pain doc just told me about the drug today, said it helped in some cases. I'm not too optomistic though as I've tried alot of the nerve pain and musko-skelatal meds in the past. It's worth a try, I just hope its not too expensive. If, and when I get to try it I'll post.
