for May 2007: What are some of the treatments or drugs that people with EMS use?
Persons with EMS are treated for symptoms as they arise, for secondary diseases/conditions to EMS, and for medical problems having nothing to do with EMS. So, there is no one uniform treatment regimen, unfortunately. A lot of trial and error goes into a good treatment regimen for EMS. In fact, some persons with EMS do not use any drugs for it, while others must use many medications to manage pain and associated problems. While some persons find alternative treatments work best for them (such as massage therapy, physical therapy, water therapy, acupuncture, etc.) most persons who suffer with EMS pain do use conventional medical treatments. These may include over the counter pain medications, NSAIDs, or other pain medications including narcotic meds. Quite a few take antidepressants for depression and/or anxiety and sometimes for pain and assistance with sleep. Any chronic disease may cause depression and/or anxiety aswell as sleep disturbances.
