Lidoderm patches

Biofreeze spray and gel

A paraffin wax bath. I bought the Homedicas one from Amazon.com and absolutely love it. Helps relieve my hand and foot pain well on bad days.

A black sleep mask and lots of sunglasses so I can block sunlight and even indoor lighting when it's really bad. I get awful occipital pain and headaches which concentrate behind my left eye.

A kind, compassionate, patient and loving fiancee plus my three children.

Percogesic - Similar to Doan's, I found the magnesium in those pills seems to help my leg spasms and cramps alot.

Fruit2O Essentials waters - 10% RDA potassium per serving which is very helpful.

Therabeads heating pads, especially the neck wrap one. Less then 2 minutes in the microwave and they're good for 20 minutes of heat

Frequent massages (obviously not during a flare up!)

Icy-hot patches for when I can't use the Lidoderm (those are 12 hrs on, 12 off)

Lukewarm epsom salt baths

Terry crop sweat pants from Victoria's Secret. Sooo soft and cuddly except when I'm overheating, then everything gets ripped off!

Vitamins I take - Apple Cider Vinegar capsules (reduces inflammation) Robitussin capsules ( I forget why but my fiancee said they're like a poor man's ketamine, they somehow react as ketamine does in the body) Vitamin C, B- complex, extra Niacin, Glucosamine, Fish Oil, tryptophan, etc
