I am truly thankful that we have a variety of things to work with. just read where possibly next year we will have hydrocodone without acetaminophen in it. it will have more hydrocodone but without the liver damage. From: Dalton Garis malugss...@gmail.com To:

*Not trying to scare off anyone considering taking this medication, but one has to be very careful with Lyrica, it has some very nasty side effects. Make sure your doctor starts you on a low dose and that you and your doctor monitor yourself very closely for these. Make a list of all of them

okay, first time I have heard of MJ My neurologist wrote me a prescription for it! however, even though it was voted yes in Arizona, the Federal Government has put a stop on it. It works better than anything for me. And, it's true, alcohol is an analgesic and it definitely kills pain also.

Dalton; I think the back injury is probably more accountable for many of your symptoms than TM. Or maybe TM was a symptom of the back injury. Norco has reduced acetaminophen in it with hydrocodone, but there is still a little bit. lyrica didn't do anything for me. Neurontin or gaberpentin

I agree with Dalton-Lyrica is my drug of choice. But please understand that you will not appreciate what Lyrica does until it builds up a level in your system and that takes about two weeks. Bacofen, neurotin etc, etc did nothing for me even in large doses. I hate narcotics but have found that

Susan, I guess I don’t want the drowsiness it causes.What times of the day do you take your baclofen? I don’t have trouble with tennis shoes, just my dressier shoes.Of course, I don’t wear heals, but all of a sudden I am having spasming with my flats. We don’t have a Foot Solutions.

I take baclofen in the AM, afternoon, and bedtime...if I wake up with spasms, I take another. NAOT has a pair of Mary Janes, with a velcroe buckle. My orthodics work because the sole comes out of the shoe. They are the only ones I have found, so far. You have to buy expensive shoes, where
