Margie and Donna: I have muscle, & tissue, connective tissue pain in every fiber of my being it seems! Arms and Legs. I do take a Vicodin in the morning about 10 a.m. and one in the afternoon about 4 p.m. I respond well to the Vicodin but realize I am in more pain this year than I ever have been. I believe 3 Vicidin would help, but I am very aware of Narcotics. I am also very aware of the pain I have with Arthritis and Muscle pain, connective tissue etc. I am in pain with weather changes and this winter has been a wet one with many changes in snow, rain hail east wind then west wind then Northeast or South east wind and my MS pain fits like the arthritis does with weather changes. It is permeating my muscles. Also back pain. I did have Migraines and Vicodin never worked. Imitrex did and now my GYN found it was hormonal imbalance and I needed more progesterone. I guess if Vicodin is working I will stand firm on quality of life. I haven't had any guff, I thought you might have other information. I do take supplements, and the Glucosamine Sulphate isn't helping. Or if it is, very minute. It has been such a miserable painful winter I am ready to move. Thanks you all. I will write personally to you. I haven't been on the computer much. Just filed for disability and it was a grueling effort.
