Mctimoney chiropractic

Hey guys, Just thought I would let everyone know about this, as I think it has massively contributed to the relief of my burning pain. Mctimoney chiropractic is based in the UK, but I am sure there must be something similar in other counties. The treatment lasted 25mins, whereby she realigned my spi...

Re: Changed from gabapentin to lyrica

Hey violet,

I was taking 1800mg of GABA before the burning reduced but then went up to 2500 to try and reduce the ache. I am on 225 of lyrica now but I am not sure of the difference in dosage between the 2 drugs.

Best
Jess

Changed from gabapentin to lyrica

Hey all, Was just wanting some advice on medication. At the end of April I was advised to switch from gabapentin to lyrica. I changed because my primary symptom is deep aching and I was told lyrica works better for this symptom than gabapentin. Plus i was experiencing unpleasant side effects with ga...

Re: New...scared and need advice please!

Hey calluna, I've just read the article, thank you for that. Stephanie seems to be very knowledgable in this area, so it will be interesting to read her next blog on PT. I am just in a place at the minute where I am struggling to accept this condition, as I refuse to believe that this could be my li...

Re: New...scared and need advice please!

Hi rosemary, thank you for the advice, I know that it's really stressful :( I don't know yet, I was thinking of maybe doing this, but my plan was to do it this sep :( I might have to have a change of career goal altogether if this doesn't calm down, I've always wanted to teach though so it's difficu...

Re: New...scared and need advice please!

Hey guys, Sorry I haven't replied in a while, it's been up and down. I have seen the physiotherapist, and she says that she is not focusing on a diagnosis but just carrying on treating my symptoms. She also said how I need to accept my pain as it is for now, as she believes my nerves are just irrita...

Re: New...scared and need advice please!

Hey, Sunil Thank you for suggesting the CBT site :) my appointment has come through for a first session of CBT next week, I am optimistic about it helping but I feel I need to take control of the condition, instead of it controlling me. So I will try anything! I hope to that in time it will be okay,...

Re: New...scared and need advice please!

I am undergoing this currently, as I have developed extremely bad anxiety over my symptoms, which unfortunately has lead to insomnia. I have tried a few medications but none have seemed to have worked so far. I am on a waiting list for CBT now also.

Re: New...scared and need advice please!

Yes I can understand how symptoms would get worse with further compression :( oh no, I am so sorry to hear that but I am so glad that you are improving :) that's always a positive! I am very worried myself now over this syndrome. However my symptoms started out as burning in the vulva, which then fu...
