Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 My husband HATES Ben Gay and I found sometimes it burns. I like it but if it burns, that is awful. I use Aspercream sometimes, and it is great cuz it does not smell. I tried odorless Ben Gay and I do not remember why, but I REALLY hated it. (maybe I missed the smell? LOL, I do not mind the smell of Ben Gay at all) I only take mtx and ibuprofen. I spent nearly 2 years with no insurance and no meds, bordering on suicidal, and totally unable yo function, dress myself etc from this. Well, lately, the pain is not like it used to be. It used to be excruatiating even if I did not move at all. Now when it hits, usually it only hurts if I try to push, so I settle for my mtx and ibuprofen with occasional aspercream etc. My docs asoc is pushing to put me on Remicade, in addition to mtx cuz I do still manifest nearly daily somewhere, and I cannot work. I am happy with just having pain if I move, dumb a s that might sound to some people. I have 2 disabled kids and a terminally ill husband and I use a scooter to get around when my legs, feet flare. When my hands are useless we watch movies,TV together. At Christmas I had flu and used Vicks - and wow, it helped my hands and such pretty good. while my family prefers Aspercream, some days I prefer Vicks. Does anyone else ever use Vicks?
