XYREM
HELPS CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS SLEEP
Typically when a
patient
of mine is not progressing as they should the problem usually relates to
them not sleeping because of their
chronic pain. Chronic pain can induce
adrenaline and
cortisol to be secreted which can keep people up at night. Often in these scenarios I prescribe Xyrem, which is the sodium salt of
gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB). What surprises a lot of people is that GHB
is a natural substance. GHB is a naturally occurring molecule that is produced
in the brain and has specific receptors throughout the nervous system.
Personally I think it is the main 'sleep-inducing neurotransmitter' in the
body.
Xyrem is GHB. GHB is
the possibly the substance that allows a person to sleep. It may be that
people with chronic pain have a GHB deficiency because of their pain.
Listen to these stories...
J was wracked with
Fibromyalgia pain. She received numerous
Prolotherapy visits and this was
helpful but still I couldn't get her energy up. When talking with her
further she was doing the whole natural medicine program I prescribed but
definitely had poor sleep. She was placed on Xyrem. She came
back in six weeks and looked great. I have seen it turn quite a few fibromyalgia patients around.
S had terrible
osteoarthritic pain that was being helped by Prolotherapy. But I couldn't
get him over the hump. He seemed to plateau at 50% better. He was started
on Xyrem because of years of poor sleep. It took us a couple of months
to get the best dose down for him. With the
combination of his previous
Prolo and the good sleep his diffuse body
osteoarthritis pain was relieved.
If you or a loved one are having a terrible time sleeping, come in to get an evaluation for Xyrem.
