I thought of trying Lidocaine and Magnesium infusion being offered at my local hospital for fibromyalgia.
I have CFS/ME with fibromyalgia but I figured that just having pain relief might be good.
The treatment is a series of 10 infusions given once a week.
I only got one infusion today as a "try out".
It leaves me groggy. Even the other people getting the infusion, who don't have ME/CFS sometimes get groggy.
There has been zero effect on my pain after this one infusion.
The nurse there said response is all individual and some people need 5 infusions before they start to feel pain improvement.
Continuing with the other 9 infusions means enduring the exhaustion of going to the hospital every week and some beaurocracy.
Has anyone tried Lidocain and Magnesium infusions for Fibromyalgia pain and has it helped or harmed them?
Thanks

It's really weird that it has been so useless because I once tried lidocaine cream and that gave temporary mild pain relief. Don't know why this has been so useless
