Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Tramadol (tramacet) is related to morphine, though is not as strong a painkiller. Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors. I remember when this drug came out under the name of Ultram. It was hailed as the best non-addicting pain killer, only to have that statement withdrawn a few years later when it turned out that it was highly addictive.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 <<I have been given some Tramacet to try because the Co Codamol I have for the foot pain isn't working, I am very nervous about taking it, as I have read the leaflet off the side effects. To be honest since taking seroxat I am very wary and nervous of taking any tablet. I have told my own GP about my concerns, and she said it is nothing like seroxat as it doesnt stay in the blood stream as long. The ones I have been given say each tablet comtains tramadol 37.5mg and 325mg of paracetomol , the brand is Janssen-Cilag.>> ** Pay attention to your gut, . Remember, you were told Seroxat wouldn't hurt you either. Tramadol (tramacet) is related to morphine, though is not as strong a painkiller. Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors. Tramadol mimics the action of our natural endorphins by combining with the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks the transmission of pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain. Therefore, even though the cause of the pain may remain, less pain is actually felt. Tramadol also enhances the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal cord. Neurotransmitters are chemical compounds that act as chemical messengers between the nerve cells. Tramadol enhances the effect of the neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenaline, and this action also helps relieve pain. <<As I think I said in an earlier e mail, I am still taking the extra strength horse chestnut 2 a day, the same make as J, Bioforce. I did try the Belladonna 30c and continued these until I had finished the bottle, but I dont think they helped much. I am a bit nervous of trying the Alpha lipoic, as someone posted a while back on here that it lowers blood sugars?>> ** Alpha-lipoic acid reduces blood sugar in thise where it needs to be reduced. it appears to have no affect on normal or low blood sugar. This last paragraph is for virtually everyone on the list. Regarding the Belladonna, whenever you take a homeopathic remedy I have recommended, always let me know how it's going after a few doses. If you've had no response to it at all, it's not the right remedy. If there has been some response this indicates a need for a different dose. But you won't know that unless you keep contact with me. Don't ever take an entire bottle of a homeopathic remedy unless specifically instructed to do so. You could easily end up 'proving' the remedy (having some of the very same symptoms one seeks to cure with the remedy). Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 --- Hi , I just wondered if there was a painkiller you would recommend for me, even just for now? Also, I am sorry I didnt report back on the Belladonna, at the time I had no PC to use. Should I continue taking horse chestnutt? if so, for how long a period?The swelling has gone down, is it possible the horse chestnutt helped? Regarding the other remedies you suggest, the Ginkgo Biloba, may I ask why both are suggested, the horse chestnut and the Biloba if they are both for circulation. Should I be taking both of them or just one? Also, is there anything you can suggest for my physical shaking? I am taking 2 tablets of the Magnesium Citrate. I don't suppose there is any remedies to help with my crazy food thoughts, is there a therapy that you know of that may help. After Glitterai's and the others posts on psychoanayalists I think I need to stay clear of them. Many Thanks , I don't know what we would all do with the internet.
