If you are only going to be using the darvocet for a day or two you might skip two nights of LDN to get the full effect of the darvocet.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi Joanna, If you are also taking DLP, then you may wish to stop for a while as I think you should not take it with opiates. (please correct me anyone, if that is not correct).

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 , have you tried the following? 1. lidocaine patches (prescription) 2. menthol-based patches/cream such as IcyHot 3. ThermaCare patches (heat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi , I have tried and still do heat ect.. The Lidocaine patches I haven't. How come the Lidocaine isn't blocked? I thought it was absorbed through the skin into the blood stream? Or am thinking of something else. I could be ya know! Lol!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 After walking for a couple of hours my feet really start to get painful.I am taking an Aleve gel cab with not much results. What each can I use. Do any of you take prescrition pain meds for this condition? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Isn't phenylalanine the same as aspartame? My daughter and I both have many side effect from ingesting aspartame. I know it's a food that's why it's in so many products and I do know that there are health risks from taking aspartame. I suffer from Dysmenorrhea and there's not much that can be done to stop this kind of pain. Luckily it's not everyday. Since my exposure my pain has intensified ten-fold. Before exposure I was able to take Motrin 600mg and continue on with my day uninterrupted but after exposure all the pain medications stopped working. I believe the neurotransmitters in my system have been greatly affected by the exposure and my nerves have been damaged so when I have this pain it feels as if something is ripping inside my body. And since exposure I've developed cysts and fibroids which only add to the pain and problems. I have sought treatment but there's not much that can be done except try to control the pain or get rid of all the toxins and mycotoxins in my system and that will be difficult because I'm consistently being exposed and re-exposed. _____________________________________________________________________ > > I am often in a " catch 22 " type of situation.... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 No, its not at all. Do a search for d, l-phenylalanine pain on PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez In my experience it has helped me with chronic kinds of pain, like joint, muscle, hip and back pain.. Acupunct Electrother Res. 1982;7(2-3):157-72. D-phenylalanine and other enkephalinase inhibitors as pharmacological agents: implications for some important therapeutic application. Ehrenpreis S. A number of compounds have been shown to inhibit the degradation of enkephalins. As expected, these compounds produce naloxone reversible analgesia and potentiate the analgesia produced by enkephalins and by acupuncture. One of these, D-phenylalanine, is also anti-inflammatory. D-phenylalanine has proven to be beneficial in many human patients with chronic, intractable pain. It is proposed the enkephalinase inhibitors may be effective in a number of human " endorphin deficiency diseases " such as depression, schizophrenia, convulsive disorders and arthritis. Such compounds may alleviate other conditions associated with decreased endorphin levels such as opiate withdrawal symptoms. PMID: 6128872 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Prog Clin Biol Res. 1985;192:363-70. Analgesic properties of enkephalinase inhibitors: animal and human studies. Ehrenpreis S. D-phenylalanine, bacitracin and puromycin produce long-lasting, naloxone-reversible analgesia in mice. Analgesic potency parallels potency of these compounds as inhibitors of met-enkephalin degradation by mouse brain enzymes. D-phenylalanine potentiates acupuncture analgesia in mice and humans and has been used to ameliorate a variety of human chronic pain conditions.

Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing, The University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois 60612-7350, USA. jeholden@... The endogenous opioid system is one of the most studied innate pain-relieving systems. This system consists of widely scattered neurons that produce three opioids: beta-endorphin, the met- and leu-enkephalins, and the dynorphins. These opioids act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators at three major classes of receptors, termed mu, delta, and kappa, and produce analgesia. Like their endogenous counterparts, the opioid drugs, or opiates, act at these same receptors to produce both analgesia and undesirable side effects. This article examines some of the recent findings about the opioid system, including interactions with other neurotransmitters, the location and existence of receptor subtypes, and how this information drives the search for better analgesics. We also consider how an understanding of the opioid system affects clinical responses to opiate administration and what the future may hold for improved pain relief. The goal of this article is to assist clinicians to develop pharmacological interventions that better meet their patient's analgesic needs.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm sorry, I guess that's what I thought you were impying. Or that they were the same.
