Hey your in my area! Watch out for the heat and good luck with your presentation!

Side note about the acid reflux side effect: I can't take codeine because it makes me vomit. However, it sort of moves progressively from acid reflux and nausea with the first dose to full-on vomiting a few doses later. I've read that it has something to do with how I metabolize the drug and that i...

Does Tylenol contain another drug as well as the codeine. (I am unaware of Tylenol here in the UK). If so it would be good to have the codeine on its own rather than take an unnecessary drug. It has acetaminophen, just like the OTC version. It still causes a bit of reflux, but nothing like the perc...

My neuro put me on codeine yesterday (Tylenol #3). He wanted to give me percocet, but my previous experience with that drug (dental pain) was just an awful acid reflux. I only took one and threw the rest out. First evening with codeine was pretty good. I was able to relax, wasn't drowsy, and felt mo...

Hi Laura

No I didn't try it. I've tried fibromyalgia medications before and they do nothing for me. I don't have pain, just the creepy crawlies.

I only had the one sampler pack, not a prescription, and after reading the information packet didn't see it helping.

have gained 6 pounds.....I am livid Oh, Bethf this stuff makes me irritable...any one else get fussy/irritable besides what Bethf described while taking this stuff?!? I take 900mg per day in 3 doses. Don't get irritable, just a general drowsy feeling through late morning to early afternoon. No weig...

You don't hear or feel a pop, snap, or have a pulling sensation? No pop or snap, but the twitches could be described as a pull, albeit quickly. Last night is was the relaxation in my chest and neck, while on my stomach and sure enough, the next thing I know it's 3 am and I'm on my right side. And I...

Because laying on my stomach has been working so well, I've been doing it just about every night now. Thought I'd add this and see if anyone else has the same experience. I'll got to bed with my legs buzzing, laying on my stomach and then as I start to relax, I will feel a twitch, not always in the ...

Inversion table therapy helps but only when I am fully inverted. Had to look inversion table up. One of those benches that lets you hang upside down. Those, and Gravity Boots were popular when I was a teenager. I haven't heard much about them in a while. Do you actually sleep on one of these device...

Savella is an SNRI, like Effexor and Celebrex, but it has a much stronger effect on norepinephrine than the others. It's the effect on norepinephrine that helps with pain, and it also helps with energy. It may or may not affect your RLS and you won't know until you try it. Good luck with it! I coul...

At my last neurologist appointment, my doctor gave me a couple trial/starter packs for Savella. It's a treatment for fibromyalgia. A search of the forums brought up no posts about it. Has anyone heard of this or used it before?

After reading about Zach's teeth issues. I had a drama of my own. The prep for my bridge aggravated the nerves in the lower back tooth and got really painful 4 days later, then it started aggravating the main nerve in my lower jaw, so the pain started creeping around my entire lower jaw. So last wee...

Are you having a throbbing pain? Been there before and the Orajel was the only thing that really helped. Only a little though, mostly I just suffered through it. Was never so glad to get that shot of novacaine! I just had two temp crowns in preparation for a bridge. Jaw is still sore. A Tylenol take...

My first neurologist thought it was neuropathy, thinking it was a long-term side effect of chemo treatments, which I verified by doing some research on the drugs I was administered for my chemo treatments. I was prescribed neurontin, which worked for about 3 months and then stopped working. I still ...
