@sue15 Your Welcome. Anything to help. I have been poorly treated by many Drs.
Yes Xanex is a prescription anxiety drug. It is well understood by IBS sufferers ( me , resulting from abdominal trauma) to ease abdominal pain...it is not accepted by Drs as a pain reliever, however since it calms brain nerves, its obvious ( to me at least) it calms nerves in the gut and spine.
When i get a bad spine flare up,( all are post Stimulator,) it almost immediately eases the flare up which is a frightening/ blood curling pain...I dont think I would be alive without the xanex to calm me of these extreme pain episodes. Drs are reluctant to prescribe it but I argue if it helps one endure severe pain its needed. So far im allowed to continue with it.
I dont think I could endure my life without. I'm on a low dose.
Yes pls Google TMS . It makes a lot of sense. Hope you find this useful. Let us know how you progress!!
