P.S.

I also take Eskimo brand fish oil -3, 2 tsp. day. Dr. Teitelbaum started me on this and does not recommend any capsules, as they can be contaminated. This brand is not hard to take - not fishy tasting. He also recommended another brand, but I can't remember it! We receive ours by mail in quantity, if anyone is interested, let me know and I will look up the address.

SOURCE: Wall Street Journal HealthNOVEMBER 11, 2008 FDA Asks if Pain Pill Is Tamper-Proof By<http://online.wsj.com/search/search_center.html?KEYWORDS=JENNIFER+CORBETT+DOOREN & ARTICLESEARCHQUERY_PARSER=bylineAND> JENNIFER CORBETT DOORENhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB122633908320114215.html?mod=googlenews_wsjA Food and Drug Administration memo Monday questioned whether a proposedpain pill by Pain Therapeutics Inc. and King<http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn & symbol=kg>Pharmaceuticals Inc. is tamper-resistant.Pain Therapeutics of San Mateo, Calif., developed a drug, Remoxy, that is acontrolled-release form of the painkiller oxycodone with features that aredesigned to resist common methods of abuse, including crushing or dissolvinga tablet in order to get the entire dose of the drug at once.If approved, the drug would be sold by King Pharmaceuticals of Bristol,Tenn.A controlled-release form of oxycodone is currently sold as OxyContin byPurdue Pharma LP, a privately held company in Stamford, Conn., but the drughas been linked to a rise in prescription-drug-abuse rates because someusers crush the drug or dissolve it in water and inject it to get all theeffects at once, creating a heroin-like high.The product is supposed to be swallowed whole and is meant to release thepain medicine over 12 hours.Remoxy faces a review Thursday by an FDA panel of outside medical experts.Another drug, Embeda, which is a controlled-release form of morphine fromAlpharma <http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn & symbol=ALO>Inc., Bridgewater, N.J., faces a panel review Friday.Embeda combines morphine with naltrexone, which limits the effectiveness ofmorphine because both chemicals act on the same receptors in the brain ifthe pill is broken or tampered with.If swallowed as directed, the naltrexone component is designed to stayinside the tablet and then pass through the gastrointestinal tract, therebyallowing the morphine to act as intended.Remoxy is a capsule with a liquid that is designed to resist crushing,injection or snorting. Pain Therapeutics conducted a set of studies,including ones that tested whether submerging the pill in alcohol wouldrelease the contents of the drug.The FDA didn't release a detailed review of Remoxy ahead of the panelmeeting in order to maintain confidentiality about the chemistry andproperties of the proposed formulation. An Embeda review is scheduled forrelease on Wednesday.A memo from an FDA reviewer said Pain Therapeutics didn't attempt todetermine the long-term extractability of oxycodone from Remoxy, saying thecompany studied the capsule by placing it in alcohol and other substancesfor as long as an hour.Remi Barbier, Pain Therapeutics chief executive, took issue with the memo,saying the company did submit longer-term data to the agency that will bediscussed at the panel meeting.Write to Corbett Dooren at jennifer.corbett-doorendowjones================================================POSTED FOR NON-PROFIT, EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLYShari Ferbert

>Do not use Marcaine ( bupivacaine) at all that is toxic to the muscles. Also afterward the person doing the injection should wrap us in a warm blanket or or hot packs by full range of motion exercises.I know at UF & Shands they use Lidocaine or its cousin Ropivacaine. I will have some done Dec 18th and 23rd. at UF & shands in ville at 8 am.Heidi> since I can not have lidocaine..what is in the trigger point injections?> > I have the multiple chemical sensitivity illness along with the > fibromyalgia and cfids/cfs..> > That means you have to be careful to not have certain drugs used in > putting you to sleep, certain drugs at the dentist...and many more > medications..> > Sheri>------------------------------------
