Most discussion here is regarding our SCS or Pain Pumps and the pain meds we take to supplement.....

I frequent the Peripheral Neuropathy forum and MrsD's supplement suggestions and documented reports NEED a closer look by those of us who rely on pain management via pain MEDS (especially the opioids)....

More and More information regarding "Magnesium Oil" and testimonies from those taking it swear it really helps muscle pain/spasms! Several here came to mind when I latched on to these threads!!
Here's a start, MrsD's Magnesium Thread:

(P.S. ...for those of us who have recently been discussing 'constipation', check into possible deficiency in these important 'natural' aids!)

I encourage all of us to take a closer gander at these supplements that target NEUROPATHY pain!
Top of the list includes B12-(Methylcobalamin) empty stomach for best absorbtion
MAGNESIUM (NOT the 'oxide' form)
Vit D
Lipoic Acid
.....The list goes on and I for one am grateful I finally let this information sink in because i HAVE noticed a difference in handling pain via the supplements more so than all the hassle it is to get all these controlled opioid pain meds.!

There is a VERY good chance that our lives don't have to revolve around getting scripts and feeling like "Morphinites" (You're welcome Mark ) all the time!

So I encourage all of us (if you don't already) LOOK INTO all the info these wonderful folks at the PN forum have compiled to make it easier to piece the puzzle together in matters which may seem 'too good to be true' !
SO MUCH of this can be a siimple matter of something our bodies are lacking OR being 'depleted' via the strong pain meds!

Take a good look at the PN forum, especially the recently created 'sub' forum (PN tips and resources)
