What else can I take to help relieve pain, and stiffness that is not a prescription. I do have Fibromyalgia, most days I feel great but there are days when I can hardly move. Right now take aleve and glucoamine (1000mg) 2 times a day. I do have some Hydocodone but I can't take a high enough strength of it to help without getting chest pains. What else is out there that is OTC? Also because of the way my joints and surrounding areas feel I do not get a restfull night sleep. I also noticed that when I do not sleep well and have alot of pain, my numbers get out of whack. I really do not want to go back on the anti depressant the doc had me on before as no matter the dose all I wanted to do was sleep, granted the pain went away, but I do want some sort of a life. LOL. Today is one of the days where it even hurts to type. I just want some pain free days.

Goodies, Extra Strength or BC Powders, Arthritic Strength may be helpful to you if you are not allergic to aspirin. I think they both have generic Tylenol in them also, but I'm not certain of that. They will probably reduce your pain a great deal, but they may make you a little drowsy also. All forms for Aspirin and Tylenol have no effect on me at all. So I do not take it.

Even though both Goodies and BC Powders contain aspirin and a form of Tylenol they are both much more powerful and effective than either plain aspirin or Tylenol. They are the only OTC pain medicines I have taken that completely stop tooth ache pain. If you do decide to try them, it might be a good idea to check with your doctor before hand to make sure they are O.K. to take with your other medicines. > > All forms for Aspirin and Tylenol have no effect on me at all.

I have tried them before and they do not work for me.....even prescription pain pills do not work.

I would suggest asking your doctor. Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. I take aleve now. Tylenol has no effect, and ibuprofen is about the same as aleve, cuts some of the pain but not much.

This really depends on your condition and the meds you're currently on. If there is a pain clinic in your area, try going for an appointment there to see what can be done to help you. Good luck. I have no insurance and self pay, so unfortunatly most likely would not be able to afford it. Maybe once I move back down to Florida I can get back on insurance, have been offered my old job back, plus some other job offers are in the works as well.

I started out taking 500 mg, twice daily but about a year ago I had to up it to double that amount. I did try stopping it at one point, wanting to cut back on the amount of supplements I take, but the pain came back. So for me, it's essential. SignatureSee my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm Combined with my Glucosamine is MSM, So I take 1000mg of Glucosamine and 1000mg of MSM twice a day SignatureSuzi A1c 6.4 T2 DX 10/2002 Glucophage 2 x 1000mg Lipitor 20mg (3 days a week), Enalapril 20mg 30 minutes walks 7 days a week > > > What else can I take to help relieve pain, and stiffness that is [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > one point, wanting to cut back on the amount of supplements I take, but the > pain came back.

Carnack knows; http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/msm.html RB Of all the diseases and problems that we as people face, high blood pressure is one of the most easily treatable. Yet, there are so many people who have it and are unable to lower it. Why? The answer may surprise you. Most people who suffer from high blood pressure, have been diagnosed as having it and been given a treatment regime have great difficulty in sticking to the regime itself. That is the biggest problem in battling high blood pressure. For example. Patients who need to take certain drugs to lower their blood pressure become lax. They may basically feel okay, especially if their blood pressure is not serious enough. Most people with borderline high blood pressure have no symptoms. Therefore, because they basically feel in good health they will occasionally skip their medications or not take them at all. It is always good to take the proper medication!
