    I was diagnosed about 6 months ago :( Check out my journal...I did an entry on it discussing it and listing all my symptoms.
    For my pain I was prescribed Tramadol and for inflammation, Mobic.
    I signed up for the gym and do low-impact exercise and much as possible and it's really been helping. My mother also has this disorder and her doctor found out some new info on how it could be related to Vitamin-D levels. They tested her levels, which were low and she was prescribed a high dose, once-a-week of Vitamin-D. She says her pain has been diminishing! After years of agony! So I have started the Vitamin-D regimen as well...we'll see how it works for me.
    Yoga helps too.
    Good luck. It's depressing I know but keep your head up!

    with Lyrica,, Maybe it might help you booga cause its a antidepressant and anti-anxiety med. also bad reports on lyrica. Idk .. I had it before , so Id do it. :)

    I was going to mention this to my Dr, due to the electrical pulse I have in my left arm, but they decided to do manipulation with pain med and sedation.. ?? Its not as numb so might be working.. Im old :)

    vitamin D deficiency would make sense, since i have horrible agoraphobia i have been dealing with for years. i'll look for that blog entry.

    i am taking an anti-depressant that i feel isn't doing much.

    i can't smoke pot... stupid probation... :rolleyes: .. odd how these medical problems pop up once i stop smoking pot.

    but if you have a 215 card .. how are you violating probation?
    unless you are under federal probation.. what law are you breaking
    or is the state the one breaking the law?

    would it be different if you had a oxy/hydro script


    odd how these medical problems pop up once i stop smoking pot

    yeah... amazing isn't it ;)

    no doubt...

    but it's wrong for the state to allow such discrimination, to limit what she can and can't do for a medical problem.. since it's already a law on the books that allows such treatment

    we got MMJ on the books last year , then they added more leeway with conditions.

    Right now we have the head of state heath div. . running his own interpretation of the law... making it 2 or 3 docs to have to prescribe it... it's a crock of shit.

    The list is too short as is and this guy wants people to suffer.
