Yes, the cough syrup.
I have a friend who has spinal cord damage from an accident and has
intermittent infections and inflammation. His ongoing problems are very much
like TM although caused by a specific trauma to the column and cord. His
brother and sister in law are both doctors, specialists who do both treatment
and research. They recently tipped him to a study using dextromethorphan (over
the counter) to supplement his regular pain drugs. He avoids taking the drugs
as much as possible due to the fuzzy brain feeling he hates. But he said the
dextro has reduced his use of pain drugs by 50%! He said the dextro does not
cause drowsiness or any other side effects (to him).
He said the study he read said the path the drug follows in your system is a
direct line to the spinal cord where it acts on the nerve fibers to settle them
down. Sounds good to me!
Anybody else every try this??
