OT - Homeopathic Pain Relief?
I am at the maximum dose of pain killers that I'm allowed by my doctor, but
my pain level feels like I've taken nothing at all. Also, the pain is keeping me from sleeping (I literally woke up screaming at one point last night - scared the sh*t out of DH) - so any home remedies for sleep would also be appreciated. Homeopathic, 'old wives' remedy', *anything not prescription would be welcome. It's at the point where I had to give my pain and sleep medications to DH just to be doubly sure I don't given in to temptation when my pain outweighs my power of reasoning, such as it is). Topical or oral, it doesn't matter (though I'm already using Lidoderm patches with no effect. Heat doesn't help and ice is totally out of the question with RSD. TIA. -- Hugs, CatNipped See our clowder at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ |

When I had bad surgical pain after abdominal surgery, the nurse taught me some breathing exercises to calm me down and zone the pain out. I still knew it was there, but I could cope with it. Most pharmaceutical remedies are concentrated / refined doses of natural remedies, but you could try a natural remedy, it might be worth it for the placebo effect, which can itself be very powerful, our minds have a lot of control over what our bodies feel. I don't know what kind of pain you have, my mother has a lot of back pain, and has a TENS machine which electrically stimulates the pain area and soothes it. Jeanette |

You've probably developed a resistance to your painkillers. .
It happens to a LOT of people, NO, you're NOT an addict!!! Not at all. Nope, I drink nice chamomile tea to help me sleep, and there are several natural things you can take for stress, Calms Forte, for instance, and like Lee said, look for a natural something for pain as well. Ask a person who works there to help you decide. They are professionals on these things.

There is a herb that is very well known for releiving pain, relieving nausea and stimulating appetite. Alas, I think its still illegal in Texas. However, if you were to move to California, and had a doctor's prescription for it, you could get it legally. There may be legal pharmaceuticals that mimic its psycho-pharmacological function, but you'll have to ask someone in the know over there. Down here and around these parts, the cops generally don't give a hoot if you have an amount small enough for 'personal use' and otherwise keep out of trouble - its the ones who 'deal' and / or break other laws whilst under the influence that they tend to worry about.

The latter is stronger than chamomile and has a very strong smell. Celestal Seasoning has a Sleepytime Extra tea that contains both chamomile and valerian. See http://www.celestialseasonings.com/p...eepytime-extra I have seen it sold at WalMart here in Canada. Melatonin come in pills form. It is a naturally occuring compound (actually a hormone) in humans and is sold in many supermarkets here. I have use pure essential lavender oil and it does helps me sleep. I put a few drops on my pillow. It helps you relax. Acupuncture may help with your pain if you don't mind needles. But be sure to find a qualified acupuncturist. It may take more than one session.

Thank you, all of you, for your suggestions and help. I'm going to try to
get out and about today to, if nothing else, try to get my mind off of myself and on to something pleasantly distracting. I'll top at GNC and look at their teas and other remedies. And Yowie, I could only wish - I think Texas, being Texas, may still have the death penalty for any amount of 'herb - even a roach! Still, I'd use it if I knew anybody to buy it from - if I went "shopping" in the part of town most likely to have it I'd probably end up dead rather than relieved. -- Hugs, CatNipped See our clowder at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "CatNipped" wrote in message ...
