We were given a trial sample of that drug a while back but only 14 days worth and didn't want to start it in case we couldn't get more but if it works it might be something to try to fight for...

I hope you find something. I know for us, right now, pain management is at the top of the list. I don't know if it works yet, but I'll let you know when we get it. I tried to get it filled last night but the doctor apparently has to call the insurance company. So now I need to call the doctor and get them to call the insurance company.
