I came across this recently and felt I should share the link with you all. Scroll down to the 2nd link & click on the PDF to get a copy of "The Intractable Pain Patients Handbook for Survival" by Forest Tennant, MD.
http://foresttennant.com/pain_manage...self_help.html It provides some good common sense advice for us. I'm particularly interested in his views on nutritional and hormone agents as it affects those of us with chronic pain. Best of the season to you all. MsL |

I found it interesting that the author advised us all to have at least one week of meds stashed in case of an emergency. I would never have thought to keep such a supply, especially since I take so many different types of medications. I don't even know if I could manage that, since I have to get my refills approved at the pharmacy.
Have any of you ever heard of that advice before? |

If you ask your doctor for samples they usually have them.That would get you through at least a couple days. It seems like one more thing to think about but if the medicine is not available then that is a worse problem. Also it is a good idea to have enough for one dosage in a seperate container in your purse in case you forget them at home.

I'm happy to hear that many of you are finding the Survival handbook helpful too. I'm recovering from a very long flight to Europe but so thrilled to be with my hubby for Christmas even if he does have to work tonight.
Here is another article by the same doctor, "Amino acids and diet in chronic pain management". I've loaded up on my antioxidants and now considering these recommendations. http://www.dynamichealthresources.co...s_april_09.pdf Merry Christmas to you all. MsL |
