Re: Lyrica or pregablin

My Neurologist put me on Pregabalin and it made me really sick so I stopped and called him back and ask for a lower dose. He reluctantly gave me a prescription but said that I should be able to tolerate the original amount. In the mean time I got my Marijuanna and started using MJ and it worked like...

Re: Medical Marijuana

I live in Florida and was recently in Maryland and the subject came up about Medical Marijuana and it seems that it is very easy to get in Maryland for arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, insomnia and no problem to obtain. I talked to my doc in Florida and she said it was available but expensive and i ...

Re: something easy that worked for me

I use three different message balls because some of the trigger points respond differently to the size of the message balls, My PLM feels like someone has punched me in the stomach while I am sleeping so I have to hop out of bed immediately thus ending my night’s sleep. I can only sleep three to fou...

Re: something easy that worked for me

I have discovered, after many months of trying every thing that has been suggested, that if I use trigger point message on my back it will stop my PLM and RLS instantly. I have to find a point that hurts more than the PLM RLS. I use three different balls on my back. I have done trigger point message...

Re: switching from ropinirole to Neuro Patch

My Doctor switched me from ropinirole to the Neuro Patch after the ropinirole was not working. I did pretty well on the Neuro Patch but the side affects of HOT FLASHES became intolerable. Hot Flashes are not a common side affect but it is listed as a side affect, lucky me. We changed the dose from 4...
