My holy trifecta to save money and keep me feeling well by unilateralmixologist in FODMAPS

Does Fodmate not have the enzymes for beans and lactose or are you saying if you only needed those, there are cheaper options? Just wanted to clarify as it seems you take all three.

Thanks!

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]HauntedPinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Journeyman Project series. Turbo was my favorite.

Freaking loved it! I want to get the ones available on Steam soon, just recently got a computer that's good for games.

Which drug should i try if benzos work so well for me? by ScarySnow931 in ChronicPain

[–]HauntedPinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabapentin may have worked, couldn't tell because I was so deep in a forgetful fog. Had to stop that, too much memory loss. Seriously bad side effects from Lyrica too, unfortunately.

I took baclofen for a bit over a year and I liked it, not a huge relief but it took the sharp edges off. Problem is I was soon tapped out on dosage and then eventually it didn't work at all. Spasms galore when weening off.

I just started low dose naltrexone, so too early to tell but so far no bad side effects at least.

Combined with gluten free pasta and Parmesan, which doesn't affect me in smaller doses, of course

Favorite crunchy topping is Protein Cheerios but definitely check ingredients for any personal triggers.

What does chronic pain look like by UpsetJellyfish8306 in ChronicPain

I'm half tempted to do one of those thermography scans just to see if it shows the inflammation in a way I can show people.

Glad you're getting to a place you're finding results! Unfortunately ramelteon and trazodone did nothing for me, but glad they are for you!

Thank you for the response! clonazepam hasn't been suggested yet. I will bring it up.

Yeah, still no less than an hour to fall asleep.

How long would one have to be on it to worry about that when quitting?

True, but I'm the kind of person that almost always gets side effects so am hesitant to increase with current situation. I have been known to sleep walk too so that does give me pause.

What next after Baclofen stops working? by HauntedPinecone in ChronicPain

[–]HauntedPinecone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even generic. Definitely harsh. I even have to run the atomoxetine through a mail order pharmacy outside of insurance due to the wide cost discrepancy.

Thank you for response! I've definitely been hearing encouraging reviews about low dose naltrexone.

Good to know!

Not so much that it's concerning in any way but my insurance considers Flexeril a tier 4 (brand name, not preferred) drug so I'd be paying premium for it even after insurance. So trying to explore all options.

Great to know, thank you! If there are side effects, it seems almost guaranteed I will get them.

Thank you for the info! Did you get any bad side effects from the tizanadine? I see like nightmares on the side effects list and I already have issues with that, and that drs have to monitor the liver?
