just a question

[Guest guest]

,

When I hurt all over like that and feel like I'm going to lose it; I go soak in

my hot tub. If I'm somewhere there is not a jacuzzi or tub I do a hot shower.

It seems to help that all over pain and calm you down some. Good Luck.

The answer to your ER question: I don't know. I went once, they were very

nice, but all they gave me were breathing treatments for my pleurisy/bronchitis

and did a bunch of tests to rule things out. No pain meds.

just a question

Hi everyone hope you are feeling better than me. Anyways, I just

have a

question. Lately iv had a few " episodes " usually in the evening or at

night when I have SOOOO much pain I cant handle it, I freak out (panic

attacks) crying, rolling around on the floor praying for the pain to

just let up a little. Anyways if I were to go to the emergacy room

could they do anything for me or would I just be wasteing my time? My

husband wants to help but doesnt know what to do, so he wants to take

me in. I would have to ack up the kids take them to a sitters house go

to the er and wait, ID be more uncomfortable then I was to begin with.

Sorry to complain but Im looking for advice. Anything would be

appreciated.

Thanks for reading

Oh yeah! Night time is so much worse for me. It is when I make sure to take my

pain meds before I go to bed or else the full body burning will get me. During

the day, I am really good. I can't say that I have the " rolling on the floor

crying in pain " anymore though. (I used to! My back just kills me) I don't know

what the ER would do except shoot you up with heavy duty pain meds...but they

might think you were just coming in for a " fix " you know? If doctors are still

slow to recognize FM as a legitimate syndrome, I am not sure the ER people would

be any different. Besides, they are used to med runs where people come in for

their boost. I worked on emergency squads and I have seen a lot in the ER.

Now this is just me thinking out loud, but what if you got into a nice really

warm tubby before the pains grabbed you and took your regular pain meds also

before things get out of hand. That might relax your body and keep the pains

from getting so bad. Make sure your hubby is nearby to help you out of the tub.

Sometimes I wish I had a crane to get me out! LOL! Do you think your hubby might

give you a massage? Whatever it takes to get those muscles relaxed. And Anxiety

will tense those muscles too. Try to get/stay loose. Hope this helps.

I know I will probally got lots of negitive replys to this but right

now Im desperate and dont really care.

I know most people will " FROWN " upon this because it is illegal in most

states but I need to know. Has anyone tried the use of " POT " for pain

relief. My pain meds dont work anymore and Iv had many people suggest

it, including my mom. Im NOT looking to get " HIGH " just relieve some of

the pain. I know someone who has used it for the relief of MS pain and

has said it helps. I would just like anyones experiances with this.

Thanks~

I don't frown upon it. I won't 'admit' to anything but it's a wonder

drug for pain. If you ask me, it should be legal for fibro relief.

THere isn't anything like it!

I wish it was legal here, I'd have some today!

It didn't help me at all.

My Dr. had me try it and it makes me sick. but if it didn't I'd sure use it.

several people I know use it for pain and it has really helped them.

God bless.

My son-in-law has told me that his mother uses pot to help her cope with the

pain of the condition that she has, which he says reminds him of me with the

fibro. I can't remember what her condition is called, though and apparently

it must help her, since she has been doing this for many years.

Montel claims it does wonders for his MS pain. He would not be

able to function without it, he claims.

You just have to be very, very careful not to get caught.

It's going to be a long time coming before we can get medically prescribed

marijuana. I hope and pray you get the relief you need and that if you try

this method, you do not get arrested. Take care.

Hi ,

I live in Oregon where we do have Medical Marijuana. My daughter-in-law was the

first one in our family to get her legal license to have it and use it for pain.

I went and saw the doctor at the clinic and he examined me and said that it

would definately help me too. I now am legal too (cost $300 for a year) and it

doesn't protect you from the federal government if you get caught with more than

your allowed to have. The funny thing is I am not a pot smoker - never have

been lol and now I am allowed to have 24 oz.s in my possesion for " personal

use " . I am allowed to grow 22 plants in my house or garden and not get arrested

by the local police (amazing lol). I keep trying to smoke a little at night to

help relax my neck muscles but it makes me feel so paranoid that I tense up and

it just defeats the purpose! my daughter in law says I need to keep smoking

until I get used to it, but I can't even function around the house on that

stuff- let alone try to go out in public lol. She swears that it helps her so

much that she doesn't even take pain meds (Vicodin) anymore and she's holding

down a full time job in a CPA's office. I can't even figure out my checkbook on

the stuff lol. I can't honestly say whether it helps or not because I take a

lot of pain meds and muscle relaxers, etc. Maybe the mixture of all that is my

problem even though the M.D. who prescribed the marijuana for me told me to

continue with all of my regular meds too. My regular doc has started me on

Lyrica for my fibro, so far I can't tell if it's helping or not. Does anyone

else take Lyrica?

Prayers for pain free days for everyone here,

Kathi from Oregon
