Re: Re: OT Pain Relievers

[Guest guest]

My back, bottoms of my feet and hands seem to have a lot of pain and they lock up.  I seem to have more of a problem with acetaminophen and bleeding than aspirin.  I can't take the other OTC like motrin, etc. because it does hurt my stomach.

 

Maybe I'll try to find the white willow bark.  I couldn't take the acetaminophen (Tylenol which I just realized other brands have the same ingredient as Tylenol) way before dx.

 

Thanks, I'll search around.

I have fibromyalgia in addition to the gut issues and I can't yet manage with no pain meds.  So far  I'm OK with OTC stuff.  My doctor feels Tylenol is the safest for most people but with an inflammatory problem I've used ibuprofen. However, about a month on ibu and my stomach starts hurting.  I switched to white willow bark.  It's the herbal precursor of aspirin and and supposedly the other things in it that aspirin (being a pure chemical)  hasn't got alleviate any stomach distress.  This has proved to be the case for me, no tummy aches at all.  Now, I have IBS, so I can't speak for UC or Crohn's or worse, but I think they are right about the whole natural form being easier to take.  Of course if you are allergic to aspirin you wouldn't be able to take the white willow bark either.

Anyway, you've been on SCD long enough that you should have healed a good deal, so that using the occasional NSAID like ibuprofen or aspirin might be tolerated. BUT check with your doctor first, since you don't want to cause any more harm.

Hey ,I'm sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia. There is a new treatment for it, have you heard of it, it's called LENS Low Energy Neurotherapy System. It's freaking great, I have done it for other problems, know that it works for that too. I could not recommend it enough, practically saved my life.

Let me know if I you have trouble getting info on it :)Best,
