Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 , I have a brother who doesn't know what an 'inside voice' is. I always cringe when he speaks. lol! And I have to wear a visor when there is overhead lighting like in kitchens. But does it do anything for pain? I'm weaning off the MS-Contin this week. Jodi >Ugh it's the worst!!!There are still a few people talking that I can't stand, but it's 99% better. Hope it works out.. I know how much it sucks!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Jodie, Oh yeah.. I have a coworker like that! Had to move my desk because I thought I would attack him if he didn't shut up lol It has helped me with joint pain, and a bit with the tender points I have. I have not had it work on spinal cord. But after 2 weeks I did start feeling better, I used to wake up feeling like I was 100 years old because my joints would hurt and I almost felt like I had a horrible flu or something. It really got out of control.. esp. with what I now know is narcolepsy. I was told this is almost like a Cymbalta, but has an extra kick to it. I used to get stabbing in my eyes when I would drive home at night because of the lights, that is gone too! Did they tell you that you have central sensitization? Or Fibro? I have heard so many amazing things from other people, and like I said, the side effects are not bad at all. The only thing I have occasionally is nausea if I don't eat. Otherwise I'm all good Subject: Savella (was MS-Contin) To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Saturday, August 13, 2011, 12:45 PM  , I have a brother who doesn't know what an 'inside voice' is.
