[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 432829, member: 11001"] Jena, Let me say how sorry I am first. I don't have MS, but I do have a form of RA known as palandromic RA. It is the most painful form, however, it does not cause permanent damage; that is until the regular form sets in (This is 88% likely). I have learned that I must take my pain medications. at the first sign that a flair is coming. I have gotten really good at feeling the "shadow" of pain that lets me know. If I don't, the pain is unmanagable. Exersize helps keep the flairs down. When I first was diagnosed, the flairs were frequent and the pain was unbearable and paralizing, couldn't move the affected large joint (rather give birth it was so bad) Once I learned what I had and got management tools, I have only a few flairs a year. With most autoimmune diseases diet is a factor. I don't know what triggers MS, but its worth a look. I also saw a DO-I have taken some natural antinflamitories for awhile now. I have been able to go off the daily NSAID and only use a pain killer and steriod when a flare comes. Pain is hard on your body and mind.You will only get worse if this is not controlled. I would try to manage this first. I went to the DO after the regular doctor. My goal was to reduce the amount of medications. Nothing he gave took the pain away enough to function. My dad went to a pain clinic as his pain was so bad. He is so much better and happier now. Drugged yes-but at least he has life quality. As for marijuana-it is a legitimate pain reliever. It made my daughter really nice- I use to joke that I would grow it if they couldn't find something to help her! Is it legal as a medicine in your state? When my pain was at its worse, only warm water would relieve it enough to stop me from going crazy. I also know that I can go to the emergency room or my doctor and get a shot if it is out of control. Go back to doctor, or new one, since giving a medicine that he knows isnt going to work, sounds crazy to me-ask for pain relief ASAP. You do not have to suffer this way. [/QUOTE]
