Re: [TMIC] Medications for "banding"

[Heather & Pieter]

I am on Neurontin and I thought it was mainly for the nerve pain however it does seem to help with the banding as well.  I am also on Baclofen and it is for the spasms, not sure if it has anything to do with the banding.    I find that when I'm overtired, over-exerted myself, am almost due for my meds then the banding around my midriff is there.  Once I'm rested and have my meds the banding dissipates.    Heather in Calgary P.S.  I have had TM since Sept 6, 2003 at T8 - T10 and in the 1/3 who are the walking wounded using cane, walker and on occasion a wheelchair.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob and Sue Mattis To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Saturday, March 04, 2006 4:43 PM Subject: [TMIC] Medications for "banding" Hello group, I’ve had another contact from another Pennsylvania TM’er who asked me if I knew what medications could be giving for the banding and tightness.  I have not personally dealt with that issue, so I told her I would put out a note on the list and ask if I could get response from those who do.  She will be having another appt. with her neuro in a couple weeks, and would like some ammunition to take with her.  Apparently her Dr. had told her that there was nothing that could be done for it.  Well, all you experts out there, can you e-mail me back and let me know what med’s you’re on for that purpose?  It seems that I’ve heard neurontin might be one?.....Please e-mail me back, and I’ll see that she gets the information.   Thanks for all your help.
