                        Hi,   Have you been checked out to see whether you have a pinched nerve in your  neck? It seems strange to take that kind of medicine when that is not your problem, I have never heard of it. Go with your first impression. Have you gotten a second opinion yet?  I would like pass on some info and a book that you can get from a library that might prove to be very beneficial reading for someone with Lupus. My best to you, take care.
