Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Cris, I used to have to go to sleep with a heating pad as well. What helped me most was changing my bed to a memory foam one. My back spasms have steadily diminished. But maybe it was slowly healing anyway. I believe either way that the memory foam is a godsend. Kate Re: Hypothyroidism's Effects on Mental Health are Un... this is true - I plan on increasing my thyroid meds one way or the other - and it is very possible that could help my spasms and trigger points and my pain level. I'd like to get off of the neurontin. Right now, I take it before bed - which is the only way I can sleep. and I go to sleep with a heating pad with a timer on it - on my neck and shoulders. I am addicted to my heating pad! But - my knots are so bad, that I've been told that I need something to lessen them - break them up - so they can go away. I've had them for years now, so I don't expect them to go away overnight. but if this drug helped with them - stopped the spasms, the knots could ease. And then with armour treatment, hopefully, they wouldn't come back. And I could go off of both the neruontin and this new one. No clue that my dr. would prescribe it for me anyway though. am I making sense? Cris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
