Re: Re: [Fibromyalgia_Is_Real] Off Lyrica -acupuncture!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi jessiejo

Yeah it is like that it just depends where they put the needles I have problems

with lower back and numbness threw my legs and feet I had over 30 needled the

1st they did not hurt but every time after that I just wanted to scream. It only

lasted a few seconds like u said but don't tense up while they are in there. My

chiropractor said they shouldn't hurt that bad she said it has to do with

technique. After 5 times and the pain of them never got better I decided that I

was in enough pain I did not need anymore. It didn't help me either I hope I

helped! That was my experience m*ybe someone had a better experience than me.

Good luck hugs

Re: [Fibromyalgia_Is_Real] Off Lyrica - pain, pain, pain

Thanks for the feedback Audrey.  They carry nothing here in Northwestern

Massachusetts and I troll all the stores, I feel like a frellin junkie.  There

is another roll on that I found by chance called No Pain, it works well too. 

Sometimes I use Tiger balm as well.  It just depends.  Bio Freeze is a good

one though.

Hello:  Yes, we have used Biofreeze and really believe in it relieving the

pain.  I have Fibro and muscle aches and when I put some of it on it, it really

helps.  My husband uses it too.  Some local drugstores may carry it.  I know

ours does here in AZ.  Thought I'd give my 2 cents worth.  Audrey in AZ

Re: Re: Salonpas pain patches

Marla,

I haven't been following the thread about the Salonas patches as I

already know they are good. Don't know what your questions are but

I'll try to answer what I think they might be.

Salonas patches are relatively inexpensive, are small but not tiny,

work very well for large spot pain and are carried by CVS among other

stores. In my local CVS they always seem to be hidden on a bottom

shelf and you really have to look for them. The box is approximately

2 1/2 " X 3 " and is white, royal blue, and bright green horizontal

stripes. They do make a larger size also but the only ones I have

seen have that red pepper in the large

ones and I can't take that.

There are 40 patches in the box but I don't remember what they cost.

They are pain relieving patches. Someone mentioned an online source

also and I believe target and/or Wallmart carry them also.

I do hope no one has given you hateful answers at any time. There is

no excuse for that.

As for posts being trimmed, I don't believe anyone has done that. We

are asked to trim our own posts of all the excesses but most of us

leave the original letter plus our answer and delete everything

else. Some delete everything but their answer. I'm not sure what

the moderators want but to me it makes more sense to save the

original also.

So sorry you have had to go off the lyrica - for me it has been a

wonder drug and I have been on it for several years now and haven't

needed to increase it. Are you on any other pain killers that help?

Being in so much pain is bad for anyone. Sure hope you get relief soon.
