Hiya hun,
I understand your distress,it sounds like you are taking alot of meds,maybe speak to your doc about how you feel what with taking all these meds.
I know we'd all like to find ONE tablet that will fix all and you would think in this day and age there would be something,but unfortunately its the way we have to go along with the docs and trial and error with certain ones to see what works and what does'nt. I feel the same i take just 1xanax in the am,then 2valdoxan at night along with seroquel and another xanax,i feel its too much to be taking altogether in the night time,and i'm waking up often sick from it,i've mentioned to my doc to let me space them out during the day but unfortunatley again the valdoxan and seroquel have to be taking at night,i feel yuk about it,but i have to go with what he says.

Hi litlmommag,
Do you have Fibromyalgia, is that why you want to know about nightshades?
Or I should have written Dr. Pepper. Any type of cola is considered a nightshade as well.
I am afraid I don't quite understand your question! Could you rephrase it for us?
Best wishes

Hey lilmom,
I have not read sweet lemon or puke's answers, but I DID read that other person's answer. I have never given a thumbs down before, but I JUST DID! I want you to ignore that hateful reply to your question. There are some people that just do not have a compassionate bone in their body. I understand if you have been in pain for a long time (chronic, like me) and you can get grouchy, but there is a huge line between grouchy and down right mean and ugly. I would hope that whomever that is when they have a real problem they seek help with someone that has compassion, or are prepared for the slap in the face he/she just gave out.
Anyway, love. I will now try and finish reading the answers from the DC family that are here for all the right reasons. Take care! :)
Best wishes,
~Jillynnie

Unfortuneately, with fibromyalgia it is a hit & miss situation with medications for pain. Some help some & not others. I see you listed lyrica. Does it seem to help your pain? It worked quite well for my fibro pain, but my insurance has now refused to pay for it so am relying on just narcotics for pain relief. I have been in severe pain for 40 some years starting in my early 20's. It's something we haven't much control of so age is of no concern. You will find many supportive people here that have your same predictament, & will give you all the support possible. Sounds like you had a very bad night last night. Here's hoping today will be somewhat better for you...

Ha I read your post Mary, yesterday, thanks for your thoughts. We did save you that doughnut. I was tempted but thought, no way Jose. Never mess with a dougnut lovers passion. Nice to see everyone, time to read the rest of the mornig mail( e-mail) then its the mornig ritual walk to the mail box. That does me in somedays, but ourv weather is cooler. Only run the ac in the late mornig now. So, theres a fresh pot of some of the finest tasting java joe sitting on the stove, and fresh bagels, brownies, and yup doughnuts. :-0) SL, no tofu for you today, I've also a dozen home made apple fritters, and they're great .

Mary,
So true! I have found the subs are working so well on my fibro. Would have never in a million years guessed that. The pain meds were not working and I was preparing to live in pain for a long time, and wow.
Please do not hear that I am promoting this as an answer. I want to be clear on this. My doctor switched me because I requested to get off of pk's. I have been on them for EVER and they were simply not doing the trick and of course, I was needing more and more. I am also on a small amount of Cymbalta as well as Amitriptyline.
I am preparing myself for the day that it may stop and I will need to figure out another source, but for now I am enjoying most days. not all, but most.
Thanks for all the support giving and receiving this morning!
Great day to ALL!!

Hi this is litlmommag I just wanna say thank you to all of you who responded I appreciated all your answers I'm sorry I had a rough day and night yesterday. I was ranting and I shuldnt have. I waited along time for a dr to help me with all my problems and finally found to great doctors who are helping me and the meds are helping me a lot I have just never been someone who liked to take pills at all and I guess I was mad at the world yesterday I apologize. But thank you to everybody I appreciate all my new friends and your help. Be well and have a good day litlmomma...

Sweet Jaime,
First of all, no apology necessary! Second, I can appreciate being sick of taking pills!! We ALL have our bad days and that is okay. That is where our true friends come in. They lift us up, encourage us, and help us carry the weight. Then when we have good/great days, we get to lift, encourage and lend an ear to others old and new to this family. And, I say "get" to because it is an honor and a privilege to be able to help someone else. For me, I find it is a blessing too, because I always find that I am blessed when I help others. It ends up helping me, too! It is so sweet of you to say you are sorry, but lilmomma you just don't have to! We have ALL had our bad days, and we will have them again and just need some nice words for our 'off' days, too.
Hugs and Love!

I hate taking meds too,but unfortunately stuck on them for anxiety/panic disorder,depression,ocd and I suffer from severe endometriosis pain,have been through the mill and back again these past few months so can understand you getting frustrated trying to deal with pain and adjusting to meds and also finding a good doc to help you along,i have yet to be so lucky,LOL!
Anyways my friend,good to hear you're doing ok.
Will talk again and here if you need to talk at anytime,we all are!!
Take care

Cola is a night shade? I never heard that before. I will drink Diet Rite cola because it is the only one I know without aspertane. My specialist stated this was the only one that can be drank if you have migraines among all these other issues. I will have to do a bit more research about cola.
Hi Sheila,
I could be wrong about Cola, it HAS happened before, me being wrong!!
haha!! OK, just checked my list, which I googled for nightshades and Cola is def on the list! But hey, if you don't have fibro, drink that Cola gurl !!
xoxo
Sweet Lemon
I do have fibro and I am glad I do not drink too much cola. I had an issue with night shades when I relaized I was eating potatoes and peppers twice a day. Once I became aware and cut back I noticed a difference.
Oh Sheila,
Thank you for telling me about your pain reduction with nightshade elimination! That gives me some hope and I so appreciate it. Although I do the unthinkable... I smoke cigs, ugh!! Tobacco is a nightshade, I def need to quit!
Thanks again gurl, very kind of you!!
You are all s very helpful I'm so glad I found you here! I always give you all a thumbs up on the messages I don't know what it does but I think you all deserve it. The nightshades thing is benificial for me I am learning s much I too smoke cig drink cola everyday eat peppers don't care to much for potatoes always ate them to get my kids to eat their dinner I guess I should do research on it. Here when I had my kids I tried too exchange bad habbits I had in my past drinking and smoking marijauna for cig and coke or pepsi maybe I should have made a better choose the kick in the pants is my dr says he may prescribe marijauna to me for the ms I don't know if he will or if I will do that r not that is something I really need to think over if I wanna go that route but ill stop running of at the mouth now and just say thank you and have a good night or day to some litlmommag-
