Hi Patty (@sheetrock0131),
I noticed you mentioned earlier (http://mayocl.in/2sczs4N) that clonazepam does help relieve the pain for you somewhat. And that cymbalta and lyrica are also often used by people with BMS. Do you take clonazepam when the pain hits a peak, or do you tend to use it throughout the day? What works for you?

@Thanks for the information. Do you take other meds as well? I also take Clonozepam. One at noon, one at mid-afternoon and one at night. They are 1.0 mil. I take a daily dose of Cymbalta as well, 20 mil at noon and 20 mil at mid-afternoon. Added to my BMS is TMJ and occasional migraines. Yoga is a wonderful release, along with exercises prescribed by a PT. It's a full-time job staying functional, but staying connected to others who understand the condition is critical for me.

Sheetrock, I tried nerve blocks but they didn't help at all. I really disliked the sensation. Do you take any other meds or supplements? My primary physician who is an Integrative MD suggested I give turmeric a try. I actually think it helps. He cited a study done by the Institute of Health which indicated that it helps with chronic pain. I'm very interested in supplements, but I always run them by my primary because he knows more about them than my Pain Med. doctor. I'm sure you know that they can interact with prescribed meds in a negative way. Take care and God bless to you too. Again, what about trying yoga? Is that an interest of yours?
