The "homopathologist" joke is just too easy here. In Germany there were more homeos than doctors--their offices were as ubiquitous as Mormon churches in SLC. No idea around here--they're considered quacks in this country. Ha! The “homopathologist” joke is just too easy here.

Just wait till I tell you the side effects the Cymbalta has--and, even worse, what the withdrawal symptoms are. :P<br/><br/>Yeah, Andy, that's pretty much what my aunt said. Can you recommend a good one? Preferably hot, young and male? :D Chosha, no kidding! Just wait till I tell you the side effects the Cymbalta has–and, even worse, what the withdrawal symptoms are. :P

Glad it's having an effect though, because that condition sounds really frustrating. That almost falls into the ‘cure worse than the disease’ category.

The interesting thing is that the neurologist said the nerve conduction survey ruled out any nerve impingement (the elbow having been the most likely place), so basically we don't know what's up.

Now I know you aren't ignoring my emails. I no longer have to make an irate phone call to your actual self, but can wait patiently, twiddling my electronic, non-tingling thumbs. <br/><br/>Oh--I'm glad you're feeling better, too. I take it the neurologist didn't recommend any wrist exercises or things of that nature, in case you had swollen things that were pinching nerves in your wrist? I'm thinking carpal-tunnel-esque swellings.... Aha! Now I know you aren’t ignoring my emails.
