@wheelerma. Nothing helps/helped the pain but a painkiller, hard to come by in these overreactive times. Dropping you a PM.

Where do I find your PM? I think I found PM but I didn't know what to look for?

I was on gabapanten for several years, for chronic pain syndrom, fibromyalgia, neck/spine/back pain. It did help dull the pain, didn't relieve it, tho. I was also on Lyrica, for neuropathy, fibromyalgia and restles leg syndrom. It was very helpful, probably the most help I've had for each of those issues. I'm tapered off both now. Also, off hydrocodone, 800mg ibuprophen, celebrex, and a bunch of other pain meds. Actually, the best for my pain was huge doses of ibuprophen, for the anti-inflammatory qualities. And, I had no brain fog or other issues with it. But, it addressed only limited pain. Now, I take extra-strength tylenol, believe it! With, 1:1 cannabis. I also use THC tincture spray during the day if needed for pain. Just a touch helps take the edge off. I use CBD drops for anxiety, etc daily and at night.No vapeing or other cannibis. Methacarbanol 750mg helps me. I also use water therapy for exercise which is the very best thing I've found, with the cannibis, to relax muscles, relieve pain and recondition my body, mind and spirit. I think I've found a pretty good combination of treatment for the different needs. BTW: I've lost 20 pounds since off Lyrica!!!!
