redface Hell everyone,
It's been a long while since I have been on. This past year has been a door and seems it just keeps getting better and better. I had 4 surgery this past year and a nasty ordeal with MERSA Staph infection. My fibro has been flaring non stop and there are some personal stressor with my daughter that are just keeping me in a very bad place. Last week I went to pain management and to my surprise I was told they are going to take the narcotics off my treatment. They barely take the edge off the pain if at all, but, I have been on many different ones over the past 15 years , am in so much pain and of course went into a panic when I heard this message. NOT immediately thank goodness. I also have sjrogrens, lupus, Ibs,my facial pain syndrome and the list goes on.
What they want to try is two different Infusion therapy's
1. A Meyers Coctail which is a huge dose of vitamines and minerals said used for fibromyalgia and she said it would do some healing to my liver and kidneys (I'm not kidding when I say I take enough medication ft kill a mule) Many different meds that really do play havoc with my liver and kidneys
2. A coctail that includes Lidocane and ketamine and other stuff.

I have found a few articles online and just a few user reviews. MOST of the reviews t out the Meyers as a MIRACLE treatment. This will be one infusion once a week for 6 to 8 weeks

The other I don't find too much on. The other infusion but it's once a day for 5 days

I was wondering if anyone has had the infusions done and what your take would be.
I asked her why in all the years of horrible pain, over 20 years, this has never been mentioned to me. I had never heard of this. She said that they were about to begin last year when I got so sick and now they feel I'm recovered enough to try something new. BUT I still don't know why it takes so long to try something that's suppose to work better than anything else.
Secondly, she gave me a rx for a compounded cream that I had never heard of and It's the only reason I am getting any sleep. Again, why do they wait so long to try something different.This cream eases the pain points more than anything I have ever tried. Those Lidocaine patches are worthless compared to the cream

Please reply if you are familar. Just looking to hear some solid reviews from others
Thanks
Stephani

I've never heard of either drug.

I thought ketomine was a powerful drug that affect the brain. I know they give it to horses for pain relief.

Joy, funny you say that.. I thought I heard do Ketamine. IT'S been outlawed in horse racing. Called doping. A horse that's hurt and treated cannot run.
My understanding is that it a lower dose and won't cause issues the higher doses cause but goes directly to the nerves. It's used in conjunction with several other drugs.

I believe that i have read of the myers cocktail on an alternative docs website, or newsletter, many years ago...if plain clinics will try these things first, it would be a big improvement.

Some members have pain clinics in their areas that are all non drug treatments..that sounds awesome..

Most of us rely on medications with this disease and for good. Reason , but we are better off if we can keep that limited as much as we can.

I take meds in low doses to keep a quality of life, but any time i can i will try more natural things to keep the meds down.

Many of the clinics i would love to seek treatment , are on the opposite coast, not a practical option..
