Medication for arachnoiditis

[Guest guest]

Hi Joyce. I just started with a new pain management doctor for my

arachnoiditis. I am on the Fentynal patch 50 mcg, percocet 7.5 for breakthrough

pain, neurontin 300 mg 4 x daily and baclofen 20 mg 4 x daily. He will probably

make adjustments to baclofen and neurontin at a later date. He didn't want to

change everything at one time. Sharon

That sounds like what I was on about a year ago. I couldn't function. I felt

like my entire life had been taken away from me because I was always so drugged

up. I changed mine around so I could finally find a combo that reduces the pain

but I am still able to drive and function.

Good luck on the combo.

Sharon if this doctor can't or won't help you with pain issues you might want to

look elsewhere. A lot of doctor won't go out on a limb to help their patients

but some will. My doctor experimented with me for 6 months to find the right

drug in the right strength for me. In 8 years nothing has changed and as long as

I am careful I remain pain free.

Janice, you must have misunderstood. I never said my doctor wasn't helping me

with my pain issues. So far I am pleased with the regimen he has me on and I

really like him as a physician. I was just responding to Joyce's question of

what pain medications we take for arachnoiditis.

I was on Fentanyl + more for years with Arachnoiditis and was very much

drugged up although at the time was grateful for the relief so was willing

to put up with that. Later I learned other ways of coping but one thing that

has been a fantastic help is medical marijuana. It has been proven to work

on nerve pain where nothing else really does and does not have the toxcicity

rx meds do. If you live in a state where it is legal it would be a good idea

to look into it.

I live in OHIO and would LOVE to try medical marijuanna. I saw a sign for it at

OSU, a main hospital here in Columbus but haven't seen it in the last few years.

I know it's banned here and don't know how they were using it but I will ask my

pain doctor.  I would LOVE a more natural way of dealing with my pain. Perhaps

he will know if there are plans to make it legal in Ohio. I would prefer that to

some of these opiods/constipation etc. I know a couple of people who use it for

pain, cataracts and cancer...and they say it works!

Lynne,

It may have been a chapter of Norml collecting signatures for a petition or

recruiting for a medical trial. There is a drug called Marinol that may be

helpful for you. It will cut down on nausea from pain meds and may help some

with pain. The ingredient in the plant that is very effective for pain is

not in that drug, which only contains the ingredient that makes people high

(THC) Alot of people are able to cut down on narcotics while taking Marinol.

I am in Florida where we are trying very hard to bring it to our state. I am

not sure right now if Ohio has something going on. There are 15 legal states

with several others with legislation on the books. Goodluck

Thanks to everyone for your replies. My friend, Lena, besides very high dosages

of narcotics and neurontin, is also on high dosages of Marinol. For her, it

seems to help more with depression than with pain.

So, is it true, then, that the medical marijuana helps more with pain than the

Marinol? Of course, though she could get it at home, I'm not sure they would

let her have it at a rehab. place, where she is now.

I'm sorry Diane but I don't understand this part of what you wrote. Can you

rephase for me please?

The ingredient in the plant that is very effective for pain is

not in that drug, which only contains the ingredient that makes people high

(THC) Alot of people are able to cut down on narcotics while taking Mari....

So this drug does not have thc (which (thc) works  on the pain, right? But this

drug does help with pain some. I will have to look that up. Thanks for the name

of it. I would LOVE to cut back meds. Subloxone stops the effectiveness of

opiods. I don't want to take that. Because I've heard if you need surgery and

need opiods that suboxone isn't strong enough to kill surgical pain. And then

the opiods don't work..which would mean in order  to have surgery you would have

to come off of the Sub drug and then have surgery....and what if it's a heart

attack and you don't have time to come off of the Sub drug? So I declined

it...for that reason. Is the drug you .mentioned (Marinol) like that?

I guess I need to google it and check it out.

Thanks.  .

I will try to clarify. Cannabis (Marijuana) Has THC (gets you high) and

CBD's don't get you high. There are many CBD's. Some are neuroprotectants,

antiinflammitory's, some have very strong antitumor peoperties (The Natl

Cancer Inst just came out and posted a report saying it should be used by

oncologists then the Gov't threw a hissy fit and it was taken down). Marinol

has THC and Sesame Oil. It is the best thing that can be done for nausea but

is also helpful, somewhat for neuro pain the opiates don't touch. If someone

is on Marinol and has to do a regular UA at pain mgmt, there is no way to

tell if they have been using the plant or the pill as the test is for THC (I

am not suggesting breaking the law if one lives in a state where it is not

legal).

There are hundreds if not thousands of pages out there with info on mmj. If

anyone has any questions please write to me privately at

shadoseer1205@... as i don't want to stir up any trouble potentially

here.

Please be careful with neurontin. There is considerable controversy

surrounding this drug.

Regards,

Di

Marijuana is illegal in every state not because of state laws but because of

Federal laws. But it is happening all over the country and it is helping a

lot of people manage their pain. The THC is what they are looking for it is

what eases the pain. Just be careful in all that you do and make sure your

doctor knows what your doing often some of the doctors can and will tell you

where to get the stuff.

Janice

Be very careful of Nuerontin. My sister just overdosed on it and almost

died. But she was only following the doctors orders and it almost cost her

her life. She is fine now but please raise or lower the amount of Nuerontin

when there is someone with you to make sure your ok.

Hi Janice,

Glad to hear your sister has recovered. Part of the marketing of Neurontin

was that it had a very 'High top end' meaning they thought it safe to give

massive amounts. There was a whole twisted idea to push this on to as many

as possible to make Pfizer even richer.

It is the CBD's not the THC that is pain relieving in mmj, although the high

from the thc kinda makes one forget alot of the pain. Cannabis is illegal

federally due to the Controlled Substances Act. The CSA has classified it as

being highly addictive and prone to abuse and having no medical use

whatsoever. Under the CSA Cannabis is more dangerous than cocaine. all

statements are incorrect and in 2003 the us govt took a patent on Cannabis

for medical use due to it 'neuroprotective qualities' which in itself should

have changed it's scheduling to CII from CI. Right now Marinol is a CIII and

less controlled than Morphine and Oxycodone. This is all very confusing.

Mass will probably be the next state to ok medical use. Just because the

state approves medical use the federal govt can jump in and over ride that.

The fed has said it won't go after patients and largely sticks to that but

on occasion will do so. The American Medical association advised President

Nixon against criminalising it but he had another agenda. The public has

been very misinformed about this for decades and there are many that are

tryin to correct that through education.. One very important thing to know

is that it has been used for thousands of years medicinally, in religious

ceremonies and recreationally and there has been zerio deaths due to

overdose. It is much, much safer than the hardcore rx drugs given to chronic

pain pts.

I believe that each person should have some say over their care. If their

doctor knows what they are doing and he/she approves and it helps with the

pain then go for it. My next door neighbor just started smoking pot as she

has really bad unconlrolled diabetes 7 insulin injections a day. She says

the pain in her lower legs and feet is so bad at times she has thought about

ending her life but now she swears it is working and she is feeling better

now since she can remember.

Janice ( I used to have that name but liked Lynne better so I changed my

name...never met another Janice! Feels odd keying my old name!

Re: doctors can tell you how to get MJ. I have chronic pain and glocoma and

cataracts (not ready for surgery but soon). I saw a sign for it in a hospital

even though it's illegal in my state. Then the sign went away.....I don't know

if you have my private email but if you do and live in Ohio can you tell me who

would help with this? And then of course my pain doctor would have to approve of

it as I'm tested and not allowed to take anything he doesn't approve. (which is

good!) keeps abusers from making our lives miserable. But to be above board and

get permission I'd like to know who to talk to about it. I wish I had  followed

that sign that I saw in the hospital but I wasn't in pain and didn't have eye

problems then so it didn't phase me except that I thought it was odd to see a

sign like that.

Thanks.

Marijuana is illegal in every state not because of state laws but because of

Federal laws. But it is happening all over the country and it is helping a

lot of people manage their pain. The THC is what they are looking for it is

what eases the pain. Just be careful in all that you do and make sure your

doctor knows what your doing often some of the doctors can and will tell you

where to get the stuff.

Janice

Be very careful of Nuerontin. My sister just overdosed on it and almost

died. But she was only following the doctors orders and it almost cost her

her life. She is fine now but please raise or lower the amount of Nuerontin

when there is someone with you to make sure your ok.

I live in Southern California and I am sure if I wanted it I could get it. In

fact friends of mine have offered to get it for me. There were shops all around

selling it with a prescreption from a doctor who is willing to prescribe it. But

I could drive 40 miles away to buy it with a prescription. There are shops

everywhere in California. As long as the person buying it has that prescriptions

the shops will be proud to sell it to you. Not long from now it will be legal.

Then there will be pot farms every where also. My daughter owns 22 acres of land

I wonder if she has thought of a pot farm on her property. They say it's a

great business. There seems to be a great stigma about buying pot for pain

relief. I wish I could talk my sister into smoking it or eating it in food. So

far she is adamant about not taking it or using it but her pain must be horrible

for her. She has 2 back surgeries and they were miserable failures. Then an

x-ray technican pushed her down on the examining table and broke her back. There

is nothing that can be done to help with that kind of pain. She will live like

she is now for the rest of her life. I am just rattling off and on. I am sorry.

Ask your doctor about it or research on the computer to find the answers you

need. You can't beat the computer for knowing it all.
