Well....for the neuropathic pains, yes.

Neurologist just prescribed me Duloxetine (Cymbalta)

Hi, This is all getting a lot more complex. The normal practices of the medical profession dictate that they look for one thing at a time. A cholecystectomy produces its own set of post operative issues. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw4MdZQYCwY . Possibly they are sending you to a rheumatol...

Ugg...this is all so frustrating. I feel like all of my symptoms are being dismissed and no one wants anything to do with me. Sure, maybe it isn't MS then but what is it? They're sending me off to a rheumatologist now but there's just so many symptoms that don't make sense for rheumatoid arthritis. ...

frustrating indeed! i strongly encourage you to try magnesium for the charlie horse/spasm issue, plus a break from omeprazole for the sweating issue. all the best! Unfortunately, I'd have to secure an immediate alternative. I cannot quit something like Omeprazole not even for a week. After my gall ...

SO... Heard back from my neurologist today. I won't be seeing the MS specialist in person. He had a discussion with her over my test results and said she believes, basically entirely based on my oligoclonal bands, that I do not have MS. It's some other autoimmune issue going on. They scheduled me fo...

Very interesting. Thanks. I, unfortunately, have no other alternative to be on permanent Omeprazole but I didn't know that as a side effect or other alternatives. Omeprazole can cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Have you had your B12 level checked? Note, a complete B12 test should also include folate, ...

hi again i will circle back on the nutrition notes above but thought i'd check in on whether you'd ever seen anything about sweating as an omeprazole side effect? related: Proton Pump Inhibitor–induced Hyperhidrosis: Important but Not Recognized https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S23...

Let me add another very annoying symptom....excessive sweating. I mean buckets of sweat, drenched shirts, etc. If it's hot out I might as well be naked because the sweat will be running down my arms and off my body in buckets. If I try and take a short walk to keep my legs moving, even if it is 20°F...

hi again, i haven't previously looked at gall bladder issues so i found this link very interesting https://www.liverdoctor.com/things-you-must-know-you-dont-have-gallbladder/ do you take any of the things mentioned such as the liver tonic, or the bile supplement, to help absorb essential nutrients?...

I was 37 when I was diagnosed but I'd had symptoms for years. Referring to age and ignoring your history is a useless approach. When you have decent attack the MRI can show lots of small lesions. Most resolve but the size is irrelevant. You have abnormal signs on an MRI scan. You may or may not hav...

Neurologist #1 says: "You're too old for MS." (I'm 38) "MS can occur at any age, but onset usually occurs around 20 and 40 years of age." (Mayo Clinic) Neurologist #2: "Your brain lesions are small though" (6mm) "About 80% of all the lesions were smaller than 8 mm ...

Hi, You are really being messed around. Obviously, something is not right. If what you say about your primary care provider is correct, then that's not impressive at all. Based on what you have said, I would be finding another doctor. I can't say what your condition is but you have enough symptoms ...
