    • Close Menopause

      I have severe insomnia from pre-menopause. Dr. has me on tranqulizers for sleep. My life has changed drastically, I feel horrible. Soy has helped me a lot and changing my diet, mostly vegetarian. This is the worst thing to go through.

    • Open Back Pain

      I have been hit from behind 7 times, two years ago hit by a drunk doing 100 mph and just before this had just gotten over previous back injury from walking up steep stairs, now from the drunk hitting me I have severe neck problems also. Just got hit 5 days ago, I told my husband I'm a cat (LEO)and I have nine lives, and only two left. Now I've just entered perimenopause oh how much fun it's all been! I hate taking pills of any kind, but the ibuprofen helps and heating pad, eat soy and no meat.

      Treatments

      Flexeril Working / Worked
      helps my musles relax, feel so druggy the next day hard to come down from it, but I'm a lightweight.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Helps me a lot even though I have a huge burn on my back from using it so much, but I hate taking pills.
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Couldn't live with my back pain without it, but walking has helped me to build the muscles up again.
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Relaxation Working / Worked
      Helps a lot.
      Stretching Somewhat Helpful
      TENS Working / Worked
