I see this question asked a lot and I know we are all different. What works for one might not work for others. Doing a Survey to see what Non-Additive Pain meds comes up the most. I do not like to put myself out here in the front line, but I have not seen a post on this since I joined. I sure many have been done and will roll around again someday.

I also wanted to share something with you all. As some of my MH friends know, I was in real bad all over body pain the other week that was just very, very painful. I am walking in my 11 month and it was not due to detox..BUT guess what??? The Dr called it SOMATIC SYNDROME..This is physical pain due to Emotional Distress and Turmoil in the Brain. Meaning that my Transmitters are trying to balance back at it is sending signals to the body. It had nothing to do with Fibro, Arthritis, Nerves, or Muscles. Just a Brain Pain..haha.

I also wanted to share what he said about prescribing ME any pain meds. Even if I could hand them to someone to hand out he said NO. Being a Addict he said that it will just start this back up and he will see me in 3 months or so in the same condition I was in Months ago. He said once it gets going again he knows I will find places or do things to get them other then being handed out if I want more. I just Love my Dr he talks to me in Dr language about the Billions of Brain Transmitter and Receptors because he knows that I find this very interesting these days.

I sure do hope this info helps some out here that are still in early recovery and experiencing some strange pain other then there original pain that they got the pills for in the first place.

SO What do YOU ALL use that is Natural or OTC for pain?? OH! Yes Exercise is the Biggest Key to it ALL..lol
Bless

Hi Vickie, to be honest I never took painkillers for pain, aside from when I had my daughter. Fortunately I don't (yet) experience pain on a daily basis but if I need something for a headache or when I injured my ankle I take Aleve and Ibuprofen. Those two usually work the best for me. If you experience pain on a daily basis you should look into acupuncture. I've heard that it REALLY works!!
