Meds

Hi! I will keep this as up-to-date as I can, given my time and pain limitations. I will also keep links below to the older lists, this way you can see how things have changed. I will put my list of supplements and medications here.


November 2011 -

This is currently the pain plan I am on. As you can see, it is much more reliant on western meds and prescription pain killers than two years ago. I do take a few supplements, but not near as many as I was taking. This plan will likely be changing again fairly soon, but I wanted to get it up here for you to see. I have been on this for almost all of 2011. I am managing the overall pain better than before I was doing this, and the extra pain from subluxations, daily activity, etc., with the extra pain killers. The added muscle relaxers do seem to help, and the Valium seems to help with the Restless Leg Syndrome at night. I know my body has just been a toxic wasteland on this routine, but I was at a point where I couldn't handle the pain anymore and the holistic stuff wasn't doing any good. I am working to find new holistic things to do/try and a new/better pain plan now that I have moved states and am finding new doctors. I will keep everyone posted.
