I had neurontin (gabapentin). Its a nerve medicine that worked very well for my pain. Hope it helps to keep yours under control too!

Sounds like your first week went very well. Never lose the focus of what is within yoru control and one of the most important things to watch during your treatments and recovery.... your intake. This will help get you thru everything easier the better you can do with it.

Best wishes with an easy week 2!!!


PS... Candy, or any small gifts werent part of anything I went thru either. You are very lucky smile
