Painkillers?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Ok, so, I've argued with my doctors and researched alternative therapies on the internet and anything else you could probably think of. I can't take Tylenol, because of my liver (I'm on other medications that eat your liver as well). I can't take Advil because of my stomach (IBS/acid reflux/ulcers/etc).

My chiro recommended inentzyme Forte by biomedics for inflammation. Its natural and reduces inflammation when taken between meals. It has worked miracles for me and I take as needed. Sometimes 2-5 at a time, but best you speak to a professional who can advise you on how to take. You just cant take with blood thinners but other than that I’m told it doesnt interfere with any meds.
Good luck :)

Have you considered medical cannabis? The CBD oils may help you.
