(((Sarah))) I am not a med person and react to many of the drugs they have tried with me. My only option is to just put up with it all. It takes A LOT of controlled breathing, focus, and relaxation to get through the more painful times. I posted some ideas/tips on the Insights thread the other day, may be yesterday, for you. I have tried all sorts of things and have come up with my own treatment for the pain/spasm.

Hang in there, Sarah. You will find something that works for you.

Brain - You are so right about that cycle. One of the reasons that I really don't want to take meds unless absolutely necessary. I don't want to take a med that makes me sleepy only to have to take one to keep me awake and then because I'm awake a bed time from the "wake up" drug have to take a drug to go to sleep, etc., etc. Not a cycle I want to be in at all.
