Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 That is interesting that capaisin is a pain killer. A couple years ago I tried cayenne pepper to help with numbness in the extremities. The pepper is supposed to help circulation and warm up the fingers & toes. It didn't help with the numbness but it did seem to aggravate the L'Hermitte's sign in my neck. Anyway, it seems that something like capaisin might aggravate pain. --Mr. Dana F.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Do any of you get the feeling of chills anywhere on your body? I've had this before, and I've had it 3 days this time. Before it would start at my right thigh and go down. This time it starts from my head and goes down. It's really unpleasant. Forgive me if I've already asked this. I'm in a funk the last few days, and can't think straight. Hugs, Trista~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*April is Autism awareness monthSome disabilities are invisible.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I cannot use icyhot or bengay either for this reason.About a yr.ago I was using those OTC skin patches so much that I had scars from were they were either burning my skin or taking the skin when i took them off.Same with my tens unit,I used it so much that it was scared.The numbness in my back is bad and i have to crank it up high to feel it.I had to stop both for awile.Then when I tried the patches again it burned like hell it felt like my skin was literally on fire.Havnt used them since.The tens hardly works anymore.If i touch it with my finger it shocks the crap outa me.lol.then if i do my back I cant feel it.What a life.Hugz to all,cassy [dixmstx@...] wrote: You know I told ya this before that I have this, but I didn't even remember I can't use icyhot or bengay or anything like that.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Lol.but wed prbobly get dx'd.Sad but true.My moms fiance is bi-polar and has been commited a few times.They treated him so good,and guess what they also dx'd him,and sent him to a good back doc! I TALKED to the reumatologist.She couldnt believe they were still trying to say fibro was a possibility so she already sent me the letter saying its not.She asked if he took her recomendation for a muscle biopsy for MD and others.I told her they threw that out the window and didnt even consider it.She couldnt believe it,she said once again they just dont want to dig.She said it is just ridiculous what im going threw and I can always come back to her but she is sure it is a neuro problem.Its nice to know someone is on my side.Her and my pcp is all I got,if it were up to the others I would be severly depressed with mania or something and it would all be a figment of my imagination.lol.Even though now they see the funky stuff my legs do I still get noooooo answers.I can only hope and pray for us.Big hugz, cassy [tabeloe@...] wrote: We'd be committed. lol. Hugs, Trista ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* April is Autism awareness month Some disabilities are invisible. Re: Re: Capaisin OmG! They treated you on planiquil without knowing for sure?Well im sure if you sued you'd get a dx.lol.I am currently trying to get a pt advocate,of course my ins. Company dosnt have them so I have to search. I really am thinking about getting a lawyer.As quickly as im progressing it scares the crap outa me.I cant risk waiting for them to decide they should keep digging.I havnt even been treated specifically for depression/anxiety but they still say I am.Im like WTH! Ok you keep telling me what I am and what im not wile I get sicker and sicker.I have kids,a family,a life,and ill be damned if I lose it due to there negligence or failure to believe my symptoms.There has got to be more options for us.What if we did a website do you think there would be docs out there kind enough to help us.Just a dreamie thought.I hate that there are so many of us in the same boat it breaks my heart to know my friends are goin threw the same BS as me.I hope you get answers,dont give up.Big hugz, cassy [tabeloe@...] wrote: All I have to say is that it seems like doctors these days are afraid to think outside of the box, or call it like they see it. If it's written in a medical journal that you have to have 1 sx from column A, and 2 sx's from column B, that's all there is to it. (rolling eyes) It cracks me up, that people seem to think we know it all, because it's 2007. If the Dr. can't figure it out, then it must not exist, or it's all in your head, and off to psych you go! Gee, can you tell I'm disgusted? That is why I am currently not seeking a dx. Because every time I do, I get discouraged. I KNOW this is real.....
