So sorry you are having such a rough time right now!! I was a teacher too. I know that is a tough job. When I was first diagnosed, I was in a huge flare. I definitely could not make it on OTC meds. I went to a pain specialist and was put on four different things and a sleep med. It worked. I was really loopy, but it stopped the pain cycle!! I stayed on these meds for about 4 months and then slowly weaned off them one at a time. The pain was then tolerable and did not come back nearly as bad as it was. Some people need prescription meds. others do not. If what you are taking is not working for you, you need to talk to your doctor again. If he doesn't want to give you anything else, I would look for another doctor who will help you. I went through several doctors before finding one that knew how to help me. Personally Aleve or Tylenol would do nothing for me. I hope you can find some relief soon!! Take care. Red |
not that, it was a good thing but i was definetly a relief to find a answer. But as far as medication i am using tramadol 200mg ER. But i did have to try a host of other medications before i got the tramadol which non addicting.
So just be careful eating all those pills. Doctor said besides his script Ultram...only take Tylenol...nothing else!!
