Knowing that each of us is not alone is worth everything. I don't have much
faith that our afflictions will change, but with taking newer and better drugs
and exercising our
bodies as much as we can, I feel at least we are doing the best we can. We
need to stick together and help give out any drug information that we find
works - even
home remedies - if they work. I am not in a good place right now - body is
relapsing and getting weaker, so maybe I am grasping at whatever is out there.
So glad
I am a part of this group.

i guess theres a slim chance that some of us will have healing to our
nerves,my neuro said that they have been known in some cases to just heal
spontainiously over time....slim chance but a chance yet.
my mind keeps thinking things will change.
im sure they will, i just have to be prepaired for good or bad.
after all it's me and Im the only one who can deal with my own thoughts.
it is good to be in this company of people because it helps me to have
thoughts that i otherwise would not have in the encouragments and knowing i am
not alone.

The MagCitrate is also great for digestion.

Baclofen was a big turning point for me - didn't know about
MgCitrate - got to check that out

Hey John, Randy,
I’ve been there too. Besides Percodan and Baclofen, I also use
a good healthy dose of Magnesium Citrate. About 400 – 500 mgs – it is a
natural muscle relaxant. And it helps with the sleep issue.
Gotta love TM. Gotta. NOT!

Hey John, been there - understand what you're going through.
I'm not sure what will work for you. mix of meds and p.t. (eventhough my first
neuro said p.t. wouldn't do any good) made a big difference but it took several
years of constant determination.
