Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Connie, before I started LDN, I was on Vicodin several times a day. It didn't really help much. Then when I started LDN, I started taking a cocktail of 800 mg ibuprofen, 10-20 mg flexeril, and 600 mg Neurontin. This seems to be the magic combo FOR ME. My muscle pain was so bad before. Most days, I can get by ok with the pain. There are days though that nothing works. (although since starting LDN and my "cocktail", those days are much less.) Hope you find the perfect combo for you soon. Connie wrote: Dumb one perhaps but since thus far I'm on no treatment and the muscle pain gets pretty bad, is there anything that would relieve it some that I could take. I really hate taking pills and don't as a rule, but there are times I wonder if something wouldn't help until I get on some treatment?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Connie~not dumb, not one bit! Baclofen and/or tizanidine (aka-zanaflex) work fairly well. I'm not so into meds either. Acupuncture, massage, swimming and yoga are other complimentary additions. take good care, blessings and hugs, kate Nother question Dumb one perhaps but since thus far I'm on no treatment and the muscle pain gets pretty bad, is there anything that would relieve it some that I could take.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks, I am thinking just over counter meds at this point until they get me on some treatment Connie Re: Nother question Connie, before I started LDN, I was on Vicodin several times a day.
