Ed, that was one of the best emails i think i have ever had! the info. esp. will help. i am a newbie w/ MS... don't have much experience and/or knowledge of it but am learning albeit slowly. my pain is such that i sometimes hurt all over. its like the morning after a car wreck or an accident kind of pain, just all over. esp. legs and arms but certainly not limited to them, also back and sides, etc.
tylenol #3s do help but make me feel "drugged" esp. after i get up the next morning. if i take a nap on my day off, i am esp. sluggish all day. one of my problems is fatigue. have tried amantidine (sp?), but it doesn't help much i don't think.... will mention those other drugs you have told me about though.
i have an awful time getting up in the morning w/ pain and fatigue being the main problems... i have missed an inordinate amount of work. some drugs seem to make it worse. the depression is being exacerbated by the Rebif, i believe, so i am taking 120 mg of Cymbalta a day.i've tried :
Baclofen (Lioresal)
Tizanidine (Zanaflex)and these helped me some, but they make me feel overly sluggish.
i haven't tried this:
> Dantrolene (Dantrium)
will try the other things you wrote re pain.thanks, dog
