I find them useful distractors for times when I don't want to take pain killers

because I need to drive or be " alert " for some reason with the kids.

Re: ATTN: Anyone having had steroidal trigger point

injections,Please share your experience w/Me

These injections have been a life-saver for me with my herniated disc

and pinched nerves, which flare up periodically along with the

fibromyalgia. Although, I haven't had any weight problems due to them.

I like them because it cuts down on some of the pain medications. Also,

I have found that physical therapy with heat, Tens-type electrodes and

pool therapy at the clinic all seem to help with my pain and peace of

mind issues. If recommended, a tens unit for home use may help those

with recurring and isolated pain. >

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
