This is the one I purchased from Amazon People afflicted with fibromyalgia, low back pain, Osteoarthritis and other conditions may find relief by taking Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). As a proponent of experimentation in pain management approaches, I initiated an investigation into the effects of PEA to see if it can assist pain control. Doctor Forrest Tennant, an expert in this field who has developed a self-help protocol for Adhesive Arachnoiditis (AA), suggested the use of PEA. After extensive research, I found evidence indicating that PEA may be effective as part of a broader pain management strategy. I decided to give it a try considering there have been no major reported side effects besides nausea. Today is day one. I have decided to start with a low dose 300mg in the morning and 300 mg at night.  Check out this great article from iherb.com I have included some of the article below. It was truly a great read.  PEA Positive Clinical Benefits in Conditions Associated with P...

Once upon a time (yes it really was, like, back in the day), our ancestors found comfort in the natural world. The trees, the woods, the stones — they were all things people used to discover homes and food sources and treat their own illnesses, from small scrapes to life-threatening infections. And astoundingly enough, this practice of using nature as medicine existed long before modern pharma companies had the chance to regale us with their fancy synthetic concoctions that are supposedly just as good as Mother Nature's herbal 'cures'. The pharmaceutical companies are not interested in cures or preventing the symptoms of an ailment, they are interested in profits. It's no secret that there are many side effects associated with pharmaceuticals that can be life threatening. The commercials on TV always tell you about all of the possible side effects but not how much it will cost or even if it will work for your ailment. And while they're not lying when they say that t...

  Are you tired of living with chronic pain? I know I was! I felt like no doctor was listening to my concerns and with the new opioid restrictions, the thought of relief was just a dream. Chronic pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life.  Imagine being able to do the things you love without constant discomfort. Picture a life where you can focus on the things that matter the most to you. With the right approach and guidance, it's possible to reduce the impact of chronic pain on your daily life.  I have mentioned in my other posts, my doctors wanted me to take an insane amount of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on a daily basis. My main concern was that my liver and kidneys would be damaged and guess what? I would be in even more pain because lets get real, ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not take away chronic pain. I was also given gabapentin, which is a prescription drug used as an anticonvulsant. However, they are distributing this drug like tic-tacs for...

I'm a holistic life coach and my mission is to help people who are struggling with post surgical pain. Dealing with pain can be incredibly tough, both physically and emotionally, and it's something that no one should have to go through alone. That's where I come in. I am a spinal cord tumor survivor and understand the recovery of major life changing surgery all too well! It's so frustrating when you feel like no one is listening to you or believing what you're saying. It can make you want to scream! It's like your voice doesn't matter at all. And even worse, it feels like people think you're lying or making things up. That kind of disbelief can be really hurtful and make you doubt yourself. All you want is to be heard and have your words taken seriously. That is how I felt when I was recovering and no one wanted to help me with post-surgical pain. In my State of New Jersey, unless you have cancer or are on hospice, you will only get five days of pain med...

       After my major spine surgery I was sent home with 20 percocet. I was instructed to take one pill every six hours for pain. If you calculate the instructions that would be five days of pain medicine. I had a tumor removed from my spinal cord, 4 lamina removed from my thoracic spine with no hardware replacing it. My Serratus posterior superior muscles was cut through (upper back major muscle) and four nerve roots were also cut through in order to get to the tumor. To this day I still have CSF leak in my spinal cord as well. While in the hospital ( two days in ICU and 5 days afterwards) I was given dilaudid for the pain. When I am discharged 5 day supply of percocet and then I was on my own.     I called my neurosurgeon's office asking for help. I was told to take 1000 mg of acetaminophen  every six hours, 800 mg of ibuprofen every four hours, valium for muscle spasms three times a day, and the ever so wonderful gabapentin three times a day for ner...
