I have been told so many times that I CAN'T have MS as "MS doesn't cause pain." I don't know if I have MS or not, but I do know that I have a minimum of 9 lesions within the white matter of my brain. My background is within rehabilitation counseling & so I am very familiar with various disabilities & medical dx including MS. I have subscribed to your podcasts & they've proved very helpful. Thank you for putting the information out here for people dealing with MS and other disorders.
Narcotics in treating MS is very effective. Narcotics R a central nervous system medication. It not only treats the pain, is also assistive with many other symptoms related to MS, for those who can take them. Information related to other meds that have accidentally found additional benefits of meds have been recognized for their benefits & have furthered their research, even approvals. There is way too much inaccurate information related to treatment with narcotics & persons who are ill.
no one with a conscience would wish it on their worst enemy. There is a great deal of ignorance in regards to narcotic pain medication and MS or just lack of knowledge. If you have a good doctor, stay with them and keep the hope that they will not become afraid to legitimately do their job. as the changing environment of medicine is seemingly, regressive, very questionable. Persons with MS have enough to deal with, shuld not have to suffer needlessly wen there is real help, non destructive meds
I've had for 30 year's and anybody who say's MS is'nt painful is talking bollocks! How can inflammation of your nervous system not have a certain amount of pain? I've been in tear's unable to get away from something similar to a persistent electric shock buzzng and throbbing like an aching tooth throughout my body at times in my life. paikiler's have been my best friend for F-----N year's now? Who's spreading this rubbish? Certainly nobody who HAS ms! I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
I have found that Ultram works well for MS pain. It is an optiate receptor agonist-antagonist. It is a non-narcotic formula chemically similar to ibuprofen. Tramadol (generic name) uses seretonin and norepinephrine (excitatory neurotransmittors) to attain the narcotic pain relief effect. It is less addictive with a lower abuse potential than traditional opiates. Of course, one should consult their neurologist about this as a possible treatment for MS pain. Non-narcotic with narcotic effect
Don’t confuse physical dependence w/ psychological dependence. Any narcotic will cause PD, even Ultram, if taken for long periods of time. The CDC, an agency w/o any understanding of statistics, lumped heroin addicts w/ chronic pain patients: two different categories w/ little in common. Chronic pain patients rarely OD, and use their medications properly. Changes, limiting pain meds to MS patients, has decreased their quality of life. Glad Ultram works for you, but it sure doesn’t work for most.
@@denisek292 I do not take meds anymore. I’ve been pretty good for the last 10 years. The mind holds the key to pain management. I did grow dependent on Ultram, so I stopped it. Good post btw.
another diagnostic tool with MS is the spinal fluid. Is not a nice test, but supposd to be definite in dx. MS causes pain for sum pple & not for sum ppl., for some a great deal of pain. Not every MS patient is the same so is why it is so difficult in some regards. Cannot rely on other ppls symptoms wen it comes to MS. Not even dr.s every1 has a diff opinion along with diff symptoms, one reason it can be so very difficult to deal with & seemingly very alone. Yu R Not alone, Not crazy, wish U best
Is great if these things wrk for ppl. When they R ineffective they R ineffective. It is my opinion addiction overly hyped, pharm $ issue. In current air of medicine, REAL PAIN is being confused with addiction. Those meds do not work, great injustice. Ppl R being forced to suffer needlessly in the premise of what U believe in. Sum ppl suffer MS every day, the withdraw symptom for a couple of days is a joke, is nothing in comparison. please do an "honest", objective eval after 30yrs MS. if suffer.

I find dilaudid helps. I take .5mg or 1 mg.
Tylenol with codiene did nothing btw

irishbear76 if you take ultram for a long time you will find that you will have withdrawals from them just like a any norcotic
