To gain some control, daily I take:
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Inositol
a complex B
methyl B12
Alpha Lipoic Acid
a Flex joint pain supplement for inflammation (if there is any)
Xanax.....5 to .75 mg. daily
Tramadol....25 mg daily
an occasional Lyrica
Because I suffer with tinnitus due to barotrauma, any opioid will
increase the ringing in my ears to intolerble levels. I use them
sparingly.
I also deviate using hot pads and cold packs, and use an Anodyne
unit. For the first several months, I used my Anodyne unit everyday
for as long as 4 hours each day. The pain I experience is in my
arms/hands, legs/feet and face (at times).
For encouragement, I listen to Christian recordings throughout the
day.
