It is an mainly used for recovering drug addicts

as it blocks the need for opiates also used for

People trying to come off drink it blocks the

Need for opiates, and in the case of drink it

Makes them feel ill if. The then return to drink

I believe that it is used for people with MS

I read some where that it has been tried with

People with fibro with good results

There is a lot of information on he net

Hard, well at the end of the day it's got to be your

Decision, I work in a prison nurse I have seen this

Used lots but not for fibro

Americans seem to be a lot more careful than we

Are, if it were me I would give it a try, anything to make

Life better, we all know that at the end of the day we

Are addictive to drugs but that's better than being

In pain, at least you may get your life back a bit, I

Think most of us can put up with some pain, as

I don't think any thing takes it away completely.

They have had good results in America, let's face

It if you read the side effects from the other drugs

We are on they are not good are they, but we still

Take them, it does not mean that you are going

To get the side effects.

The only thing I have noticed is that, people suffer

A bit with heartburn, but then I am dealing with drug

Addicts, if that happens to you, you can have

Something like gaviscon.

I wish it was me I would try any thing to get a better

Life, but your decision at the end of the day

I hope it works for you if you decide to have a go, don't

Be frightened, look at the side effects that the medication

You are on now is suppose to give you
