    • Moment of Peace

      From sbcaeric September 13

      I am okay. i now have 2 separate spinal related surgeries on the table for pain management. Wow, eh!! I keep having to explain that I have nothing wrong with my spine to ppl and how I have an advanced and ugly form of peripheral neuropathy and they are like, "Peri...what?" Too funny. I swear it...I think only one of my family members even knows what is really going on with me...too funny...I do laugh!!

      Sorry I have been MIA. I have been busy with trying to be healthy and all. How are you? Anything new and improved? Remember it is much easier for me to receive regular email. I will get back to you real FAST that way. yOu can just cut and paste to put in here...maybe...please? Anyway, new email is: ericjroland1@gmail.com or be bold and 805-698-1962 I have started talking on phone and using Skype with others. IT IS AWESOME. IF YOU DO NOT TRY IT WITH ME...TRY IT WITH SOMEONE. ONCE YOU DO...YOU'LL BE THANKING ME BIG TIME!!

      SMILES, ERIC

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      used a stick because of back pain and muscle spasms this was helped greatly by accupuncture.
      Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      helped while I was in the hot water but soon wore off.
      Effexor Not Working
      didnt find this helped me at all.Took 30mg daily.
      Heat Working / Worked
      this does help me short term.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      didnt think this was working till I had to come off for a time then pain levels soared!! no side effects at all.2x400mg 3xday
      TENS Considering
      I have atens machine but am wary of using it because of my epilepsy.
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      600mg 3xday. some days worked other days nothibg doing!!
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Exercise is the last thing you want to do or feel you can do with FM. It is true that even a little exercise gives you the energy to do a bit more, biuld it very slowly and reap benefits in all areas of your life.
    • Close Tinnitus

      Treatments

      Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
      2x400mg 3xday. Does help but doesnt remove the horrible noise!! no side effects at all.

      This really does work short term but I find any reasonable noise will distract me from it short term.

      didnt find any relief with this. 30 mg daily. No side effects though.
    • Open Epilepsy & Seizures

      Treatments

      Dilantin Working / Worked
