Benny - I am a reader of the list but rarely post any messages. I've had TM
for 4 years now and have taken a lot of stuff for pain. My primary pain
problem stems from damage to the nerve that raps around the rib cage at T6.
I've got problems with muscle cramps in my back and also that good old
burning sensation on my skin that is so common among TMers. The things that
work include Ultram 100 mg X 4 per day and amitriptyline dose from 20 mg to
100 mg per day in one dose (currently at 25 mg.). I'm currently trying
neurontin (to get off the ultram) but I haven't been impressed so far. I've
also tried tegretol but the side effects scared me off. Finally, I've tried
lortab but Dr.s are reluctant to prescribe this long term. The problem I've
had with all these drugs is they cause drousiness. With the fatigue that
comes with TM, this is a real serious problem. I'm interested to see what
responses others have to your question. Good luck...Bob
