Lidocaine

[Beardnick]

Good afternoon everyone.

Hope your all doing OK. It's been awhile since I posted on here so much has happened I've been bad with pain etc been to pain clinic told to come off my gabapentine and nortytriptaline up my baclofen and take all at night lol.

All tried went bk to pain clinic told them no can do pins and needles got worse numbness etc pain. Wanted put me 9n morphine said I was allergic..how do you know...derr reaction itching sick body on fire said I was sick of trying to fight for something my G.P sent me for in the first place. So now I've been put on the list for

Lidocaine infusion 😊 so now myou question is has anyone had this and is it OK.

Keep smiling all of you xx

dont blame you sacking the gabapent- its not for everyone, my face looked like I had bad sunburn when I tried it.. maybe stick to conventional pain relief if you havent already tried,, Yes to the question of lidocaine, i have had it twice, in 17 years, I presented at A&E with a bad flur and was infused lido with paracetmaol I.V. it did work and I am now sold on tramadol with paracetamol, although I have managed to reduce my dosage so that if a nasty flare happens again I can up the dose again safely ( hospital neuro doc advised this method)

Ok thank you .

Unfortunately I am allergic to quite a lot of pain killers..codine Tremadol Morphine.most antibiotics also. I can take paracetamol and what I'm on already so they get abit stuck with me and fed up but hey ho. But I am glad that I have been put on the list. It' very draining to put a happy face on when you feel crap.xx

I know what you mean Beardnick. Mind my asking why the gabapentin was discontinued? Drs seem to be getting 'precious' about prescribing pregabelin and gabapentin now. I always check every drug out now. I find the most useful site for this is drugs.com. Hope it is ok to put this on here. PAIN CLINIC. like your response to them!!

Take care

Hi

Thanks. I'm still on gabapentine they tried get me off it to give me pregabain but pins and needles and numbness got worse. Hence why they mentioned morphine.

But I don' know why they recounting it bk. It's like the paracetamol I have they want reduce that 😕

Take care and hugs xx

Hi Beardnick The thing is that research shows that opiates are nouse for chronic pain. Have u had your Vit D, B12 levels checked? Pins and needles can be a sign of vitamin deficiencies. PPIs stop nutrients being absorbed leading to deficiencies in the body. Have u joined any forums on Vitamin B12 deficiency? Hugs xxx

Hi

Yes I take daily vit D, and have B12 vit C and D bloods done every 6mnths to check all OK. But have been told fibromyalgia is getting worse 😐

Hugs xx

Hiya.

Don't have it done it has even been tested yet all you will get out of it is a drunk feeling towards the end of it.

But it's your call if you really want something that works on all levels then you need to try CBD oil or read up on it.

Good luck to you

Dave 😎

Glad you are suggesting reading up on CBD Dave. Its a complicated process taking it and there are many very poor quality products on sale both online and on the high street. They won't harm you but do little if any good,

[Beardnick]

OK

Cheers Drm532 I will read up on CBD oil and a few other things.

😊

Hiya

Thanks for your reply if you need any help with it just let me know so far I have now stopped 3 of my meds and hopefully will be stopping my zomorph soon as well.

Good luck with your research.

Dave 🤗
