Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I am not on RX meds. When I was diagnosed with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) my doctor told me the best thing was a good vitamin supplement with iron. I can't take most iron supplements, as I am highly allergic. I am also allergic to Vitamin C and Citric Acid, which kills off most fruits in my diet. Mostly, my meds are OTC, including generic ibuprofen, generic percogecic, and generic Excedrin, because I can't afford the expensive stuff. I use Salompas patches, which were introduced to me by one of the owners here, . They work pretty well. I have a massaging chair insert for my office chair, which I am perpetually in most days due to my occupation as a writer/poet/minister. These are the ways I deal with my pain. Granted, they don't solve all the problems as my pain migrates from day to day and never affects me the same way twice. I don't have a doctor right now, as I haven't been able to be considered disabled yet, nor have I had the funds to afford even minimal insurance, and paying a doctor outright, yeah, right, I just barely can keep a roof over my family with food to eat, medical care has to sit on the back burner, regardless.
