Zorro1, Canagirl,
We had a conversation about differing Pain Scales here:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread216281.html

They vary wildly, and you simply need to ensure you are referring to the same Scale as those you are talking to. Research the Scales, find one that best describes your pain levels and take them with you to appointments.

What is the point of stating you are at an 8 when the person you are talking to is hearing 5?

Dave.

My life has changed completely after 8 years of struggle and terrible thoughts. I still have issues but the acidic burning is no where near as intense and its a life changer in regards to having some hope for the future and general day to day living. I always found that not having hope was soul destroying, I mean whats the point of going on if there is absolutely no hope?



Are you on any medication? were you? How long did it take for the burning to decrease?

Imo a visit do your doc with pain scale in hand and point to the number should help. I would have thought that 600mg Lyrica, 400mg tramadol and 30mg Nortriptyline would be an effective daily dose, thats where I was for years and years

Sorry about last post, didn't notice this piece. U said this medication combo is where you were at for years and years. Are you off meds now? Decrease dosage? dropped one or two? Or did these stop working and you had to switch?

THANKS!

I cut back to 50% 300mg Lyrica and I use Tramadol when necessary. The meds work okay at these levels however I mainly wanted to point out what a typical drug cocktail would be for the high end of the pain scale where you are at the moment
