Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 I have fantastic relief with ultram. I really think it works sortof like an antianxiety med as well as painkiller. I start out with a half then move up but most of the time, 1/2 tab is enough for me as I'm kindof sensitive to meds anyway. My doc told me last time I refilled that they are now becoming concerned that it is actually addictive, where at first they thought it wasn't. Everyone has different reactions to meds, so really you just gotta try and see. > > Hello all! Had a bad night and day today.

My first Dr. had me on 50 mg of Ultram every six hours. It " took the edge off " , but that's it. My new Dr. upped the Ultram to 100mg every six hours and told me if it is taken regularly...every six hours it helps more. Kind of builds up in your system and provides a constant dose. On really bad days you can also take two arthritis strenght Tylenol. The arthritis strength is time released...and works with and boosts the effectiveness of the Ultram. So far so good for me...been two months. Of course, I still have my percocet for the really bad days. hope this helps...good luck Calla/41/diag.2/02/Guai4/02 LIFE HURTS< KEEP IT SIMPLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 I think I will suggest this one to my Dr. I got up today worse that I was yesterday. I didn't get any sleep at all last night. Finally came out and laid on the couch. I broke down and took 2 darvacet. It has helped a little but not much. At least I can walk to the bathroom Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend/painfree!!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 P.S. She is thinking of using medicated dog shampoo, do you think it would be safe for her with those sores and if it would even work? shirley Question I have a friend who has had head lice all summer. She has used treatment and other things to get rid of them. She has sores on her head from all the crap she has been using. She has even washed all her stuff and everything. The question is can they be inside the sores and breeding that way? They are not deep sore though. Need suggestions and home remedies if anybody knows of any as the treatment burns her sores and can't use it. She is really freaked out they are in the sores-help!! Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 My daughter had head lice. I thought I would never get rid of them. I used the shampoos and scrubbed her bedroom over and over. I finally went on the internet and searched. Tried a herbal shampoo. Didn't work either. Found one that was totally nontoxic. I worked by breaking the bond the lice had on the hair. And I could dilute it and spray it all over the bedroom then vacuum. I don't remember the name of it. I would have to search the internet again. It was more expensive than the insecticide kinds. I would put mayonnaise on the head and leave it for a couple hours. I understand that smothers the lice. Should be good for the hair and not hurt the sores.
