Relief of Arachnoiditis?
I am right at the point of not being able to handle the pain!!
Has anyone ever found any kind of relief from the pain and other symptoms of arachnoiditis? Or know someone who has?
I would like to learn what other people are doing to help with the pain!
Has anyone heard of using an anti-cytokine medication, like, Thalidomide for treating the pain. It is used in people who suffer with Rheumotoid Arthritis and Crohn’s Disease. I read about this on www.govhealthtrial.com (I think) It is in the process of still being tried out.
If there is any information that can help, I would be forever grateful.
I’ve searched, for years, for some kind of relief. There has to be something!!!
Hi there girl..I did look up and do a little research on yhour condition…as far as natural ways to go..I have never personally treated nor dealt with anyone with this type of dis-order…but I do know I have had tremendous success with Neuro-reflex therapy…aiding blood flow back to injured area with therapeutic massage…as well as B-Complex, especially B-6…lavender is great to use as a topical rub as is Arnica, oral as well as topical…here is a number on something that is being tried..it is still in its infant stages and IS invasive…but you may want to check into it if you get no relief in other ways….1-866-493-9510…it is a clinical trial and you won’t be charged if chosen…coflexstudy@paradigmspine.com
I have a related disorder called an arachnoid cyst. While it doesn’t cause too many pain problems itself a second disorder I do have which has similar pain to arachnoiditis is severe neuropathy in both feet. I’m having good luck treating this with Lyrica which came out on the market for fibromyalgia. I’m also having good luck treating another pain disorder with morphine.
