I thought I would let everyone know a new research has shown the Glia Cells are producing the pain and not the neurons. The Glia Cells take up 70% of total cell population in the central nervous system. They are saying this is one reason meds are not helping with pain really well.
There is also a NEW MEDICATION waiting for FDA approval which could be ready this fall. Milnacipran which works in the central nervous system to increase norepinephrine and serotoins.
Here is the link

Much Love & Soft Hugs

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
These new findings will lead to more and better drugs, and who knows, someday a cure. Maybe not in my lifetime, but that's okay.
