Has anyone tried this combination and what were the results? I tried using 1/2 ml 2x/day. It seemed to help with the pain in the A.M. but irritated the skin in the P.M. I may cut back to 1x/day and see it this helps. Does anyone use plain old Aquaphor for relief? Sue, if you'll go to our home page and type in Baclofen in the 'search' box, you'll find old posts with info on the subject. I've not used Aquaphor myself, but sometimes, we just need to try something that might just 'soothe' the skin. Did you see the list of "Temporary Relief Suggestions"...there might be something on there that can help... Hugs, Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only used in twice. It makesme not want to try any more topical creams. , have you tried calling Dr. Haefner's office and explaining to her nurse what you are experiencing? I know 'some' of the women on our group have used that med before, it's just some of them may not be active on the group at the moment. ~Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sue, Find out from the pharmacist that made it for you if he also included Lidocaine in the product using the traditional based lidocaine instead of a compounded form. If it is the traditional base that may be why you are burning: because the traditional one includes alcohol in it under the name propelene glycol.
