Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Well... IT could be that you have a back ache. It also could be that you are having kidney issues. I remember when I got my first kidney infection, they told me that it was a backache and sent me home from the ER 2 days later I was back with a temp of 104 and dehydrated, because I wasn't able to keep anything down. NOT a fun experience. SO, if you feel that it is kidney related, I would get it checked out. Just to be on the safe side.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yes get it checked out. I had those...before I had my kidney removed from kidney cancer. But I know they are common, so don't freak out!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I agree, thank you for speaking up for all of us. My first DR who sent me to the one who diagnosed my fibro had seet up a follow up appt for me afterwards so I go to my first DR and take my meds with me to get refills and she told me she did not write scripts fors any of these meds but we could try and change meds so I changed DRs instead. Now my DR listens and helps in any way she can but it is a hard battle to fight when nobody listens to you and thinks that all you are doing is pill chasing and looking to get high. I get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see the meds I take I am 35 and have about 20 different types of meds i take to control pain and side effects of meds and the list goes on and on. And to have someone speak out as you have means a lot not only to me but to our fellow survivors of fibro and constant pain.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 .. and the little Tigger bowed her head and said " Amen " . and then. I'm totally with you. I got some Vicoden the other day from my rheumy. My brother fought for me to get it and told the doctor that he checks up on me. I take one in the morning and one at night and in two full days it has made a huge difference. I can stay on it like that for a week or so, but the doc wants me to come off for awhile after that. You are right also about the hospitals. They made sure I wasn't in pain and that I could sleep. Do we really have to go to the hospital to get the kind of relief that we need? I hope not.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I think we all need to speak out and speak up. I am the same age as you are and take medication for pain, for nausea, and I'm bipolar. I have fibro, osteoarthritis in my knee and arthritis in my ankle. I also have four bulged disks and some other problems with my back. I also have a history of getting migraines so severe that I have been hospitalized because of the pain and being so sick to my stomach that I dehydrated. So pain is a constant battle and it really should not be. I have gone back to school and maintain a 4.0. If I were a pill seeker I would not be able to keep that grade point average. I would be too busy looking for pills then studying. I take my medication as prescibed and I do have good days when I don't need any they are few and far between. But I treasure those days. I think if we stand together maybe we can make a difference. If a doctor is not treating your pain then all I can say is run, run the other direction. Go to a doctor who is not afraid to treat you. My fibro has been diagnosed four different times by four different doctors. With three different specialties if that's not proof enough then I don't know what is. So trust me I know about having soooo many prescriptions. I had someone ask me how do you do it. Go to school maintain my GPA run errands take care of myself and my husband while dealing with all the things wrong with my body. There are times my husband has to take care of me. But I told her that at first you want to crawl in a hole and stay there. THen you realize that you have to go on you have to find a way. Where there's a will there's a way. Case in point our eldest cat (13 yrs) Cleo was diagnosed with lung cancer 8 months ago but had probably had it for at least 6 months. This is very rare in cats and my vet said she has only seen 4 cases in her entire career. They thought she would pass in a month maybe two. She's still with us Cleo is a fighter and I'm learning from her. She has out lived everyone's expectations and now the vet has named her the miracle girl. She still has a great appetite and just by looking at her you would have no clue that she was sick. So no matter how bad things get. Don't ever give up and fight and if you ever need a friend someone to talk to I think we are in the same boat I through you a life line. IN other words I can give you my phone.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Tigger, I am so happy for you! Make sure you document how you feel and what you were able to do because you took a theraputic dose. It will help the doc understand why you feel you need it . Judy P.S.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thats what my nurse told me after I started taking the pain meds.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi - I have experienced great amounts of pain, to the point if Dr Kevorkianwas around I would of used his assistance. As you know there isn't anything they can give to relieve the pain. The whole program (PowerHouse Protocol) may be more then you would like or may not. The very first step is get your colon moving, my sound silly to some but once the blockage is out and some don't even get that far and they start to see some relief. Second step drink plenty of water... To read more about the PowerHouse go to www.ginascorner.com  Make it a Great Day!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi , Instead of trying to directly treat MS-related symptoms, I think your wisest course of action would be to employ a comprehensive approach that includes a diet low in saturated fat (like the Best Bet Diet), exercise, detoxification, a low stress lifestyle, food supplements, glyconutrients, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), and a host of other things that some MSers have found very helpful.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I have nerve pain that comes from the lower back and goes down one leg as a buzzing tingling that drives me crazy and on the other side burns from the groin down to the foot. It used to get so bad I would cry sobbing due to the severity and I couldn't sleep for days. Things that helped was prokarin patches. Yoga and classical stretch from classical stretch.com Yin yoga by paul griley volume 2 has poses you hold while sitting on the floor. You hold them for 5 min. each. By the time I was done with the first session my back was much looser and the pain was greatly decreased. The next morning I felt beat up very sore like I had gone for a massage and they were too rough. I did the workout several other times and each session I felt better. It is supposed to pull the bones apart with traction by the positions he uses and help with healing of the back and improving the flexibility. The hips are connected to the back and feel much better after doing his workout. My hips tend to be very tight, but when I do the workout not as much. It feels like before one side of my body is so tight that when I lay down my one side is raised higher and my leg feels shorter next to the other one. When I am done now things are even and looser. It makes such a big difference in my whole back and hips. My spine tends to be itchy deep in the bone, not in the skin. The workout feels like it helps to get rid of it. At first it increases it and I work with it by squeezing the muscles along the spine during the workout and releasing them. Afterwards the itchiness goes away. Supposedly its a form of neuropathy ??? When my back is out of alignment I found out the nerve pain is worse. It goes away mostly when I do the yin yoga workout. The classical stretch has helped my hips too when it feels like they are out of alignment. One day my hip was aching and hurt with each step. She has gentle movements which help realign the hips into the join and increase joint flexibility. Again these videos work better than any pill I have taken. I try to do Yin yoga at least twice a week and classical stretch a few times a week due to all the therapeutic effect they have. My back has loosened up greatly and my overall pain is almost completely gone. My flexibility has increased big time. It does take time to do the workouts. Classical stretch is 25 min. and Yin yoga is an hour long, but its so well worth it for me. I used to have such out of control pain that meds would not help. Benfotiamine has also helped a b vitamin, but it takes awhile to start working. ________________________________ To: " mscured " <mscured > Sent: Sun, June 19, 2011 6:27:15 AM Subject: Re: PAIN Hi - I have experienced great amounts of pain, to the point if Dr Kevorkianwas around I would of used his assistance.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yep! I know the pain which keeps you awake all night and which sears through you like searing red or white heated flames and which brings you to tears throughout the night.I started LDN and within 24 hours my pain disappeared - I haven't exprienced the pain again since starting LDN.....and even when I at fist forgot to take it, would be pain-free for at least two days/nights.I reccommend LDN to people to handle the pain because that's what it has done for me. I know that it may not help others in the same way as it has me, but feel that I must reccommend it regardless. 'What we do in life, echoes through eternity.' MARCUS AURELIUS (121 - 180 A.D.)
