Hi folks,
I decided to keep my Ivermectin tablets for emergency and used the horse paste for a trial of it for my decades long severe fibro pain. I took .7 ml for six days, actually one day more than the recommended curative dosage for Covid. It does not taste good. Unfortunately, it had no effect on my severe fibro pain. Would it help for ME symptoms, somewhat overlapping but different from fibro? If you can get a tube of paste from a local agricultural supply, pet, or tractor place, it's probably worth a try. It's a very safe med used millions of times in Africa for awful parasite infections. Also would be good emergency or prophylactic for Covid at much less frequent dosing.
This is pretty disappointing but as I read that Ivermectin does not cross the blood brain barrier it seemed less likely that it would help fibro, according to the fibro pathology to which I subscribe essentially, brain damage.
That is bad news as I have no more pain treatments to try. A month ago I saw my fifth pain management guy, very competent dude who went to the same school I did. He was up on fibro supplement treatments, suggesting the ones I had already taken. His final report said, unfortunately, just monitor my BP, no fibro recos. That's where we are.
I have two crowd sourced what I call several brain zappers arriving in several months. One helps you oxygenate your prefrontal lobe with targeted biofeedback, probably useless for fibro but a drowning man grabs at anything. The other is more interesting, helping you achieve lucid dreaming and probably control the brain wave state you are in easier than with other devices. Maybe I can learn how to wander around in an alpha state. I find my mood has become pretty bad as the number of potential treatments has pretty much vanished. Hope for an untried supplement or gadget has kept me going for the last 30 years but it's become a lot harder. The pain is always increasing and ever present. The light at then end of the tunnel is probably an incinerator and ash container when you work up the nerve.
