Pain Medication
Hello warriors
I wanted to know what pain meds you are taking and are the very effective?
Ive tried a few, honestly yes and no, some work some days and not others, i currently have tramadol for my worst days, thats been the most helpfulfor me, but i know for others it hasnt. It really is dependant on your body and its all chemical reactions. I have the attitude of 'anything is worth a try'.
Try supplements!..fibro folk are low on b12, magnesium . I take these plus Turmeric, garlic capsules. Worth a try.
I am now on the highest dose pain patch. I previously took 8 to 10 panadeine forte and amytriptaline. That helped a bit, for a while. Now i am on the patches and no other drug for pain. It takes the sharp edges off, to a level where i can cope. There is no rise and fall of the drugs wearing off. This method is the best one i have found. My body is using the drug quicker than is advised. So i change it every 4 days instead of 7.
One of the problems with oral drugs is that when you're in a bad fog cycle, its extremely hard to remember to take drugs regularly and on time. Ive relieved so much stress and pain, just because the drug is being administered in a constant slow rate through my skin.
Cant tell you have much relief i have now. Highly recomend a pain patch. The one i am on doesnt make me drowsey as its not morphine.
Also get ketorolac shot 1x month. Trigger points 1 x month and lidocaine infusion 1x month. Also getting nerve blocks on 31st for lower back.
Has Anyone Had Their Pain Management Doctor Tell Them They're Better Off Not Taking Any Pain Medication Or Nerve Medication For Fibro?
