Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSHi, My name is Linda and I am married to a young gentleman who I love and adore. He has relapsing-remitting MS. He always gets where he can not walk this time of year. I wonder is it the season change, the added stress of the holidays or just the way it is? I can use any support for he and I that I can get.Thanks.
Treatments
- Avonex Working / Worked
- On 1 a week for a year basis. No flare-up during Fall change, Holidays.
- Baclofen Somewhat Helpful
- Helped in very beginning, but not now. Can not tell any difference.
- Betaseron Considering
- Never tried. Curious about ease of administration, side effects.
- Copaxone Too Soon to Tell
- Never tried.
- LDN - Low Dose Naltrexone Considering
- Rebif Not Working
- IMMEDIATE DEPRESSION.
- Solumedrol Somewhat Helpful
- Used last year. Followed by steriods.
- Symmetrel Considering
- This one sounds familiar. Is it a Flu med??
Close Chronic Pain
I am a recently married 40 yr old lady living in the Smoky Mountains of NC. I have Chronic pain that is getting worse. Pain comes from various ailments. I am diagnosed with Depression, PTSD, PCOS, Degenerative Disc Disease, Insulin resistance, Fibromyalgia, RA, herniated discs in neck & low back, carpal tunnel in both hands, sciatica and hypothyroidism. The love of my life is fighting Multiple Sclerosis. As you can see I got stuck in the ailment line when BS diseases were being passed out.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Great for the neck pain-I could actually turn my head when trying to back the car). My hands were symptom free for almost a year after treatment stopped.
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- Initially worked for both depression and pain. Too sleepy on it. Weaning off was rough but worth it.
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- makes me itch, except endocets, which have no real itchy effects, but they fatigue me and I have a low after taking them for several days, then stopping.
- Lyrica Too Soon to Tell
- Seen the ads, not sure if it would work or not.
- Marijuana Working / Worked
- Helped a lot with the depression, pain and nausea.
- Methadone Not Working
- YUCK. I threw up every time I took it. It made me feel like someone had knocked the daylights out of my stomach.
- Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
- Again, the itchies come calling on most compounds containing oxy. Oxycotins make me barf everytime. The itchies were really bad on the 12 hour oxycotins too. UGH..
- Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
- Work without most of the bad effects of other meds (nausea, headaches, not lasting through the night, etc). I tired to go off them and realized they "cover" pain well.
