Reply To: Pain

Hi o t h, years back i was on all sorts of narcotics for pain, break through pain, fibromyalgia pain, you name it. this was before i came down with gbs. i took soo much meds that i now have such a high tolerance level for narcotics it is scary. i could go up against a druggie and still be sober. and over the years i became allergic to most of those medications. i now take low amounts of neurontin and occasionally diazepam and flexeril. i have found that by taking the lower amounts i don’t have the break through pain, the side effects and i get good pain control. it is the opposite of what i was first started on, high doses of everything-that just wasn’t doing it, so i tried the lower amount after i read an article somewhere about a person in the same situation. it sounds weird and i was very skeptical at first, but i am happy i tried it and i’m getting good results right now. you just have to keep playing with doses and types of meds until you find the right combination for you. take care.
