Adderal is to reduce fatigue and improve focus and alertness. It is a stimulant originally to treat ADHD. I use it daily for many years.

JeralynTrudeau Petichiae is a blood vessel issue. It essentially stems from your liver being overworked so your small blood vessels (capillaries) are weak and break under the skin. It causes a bunch of reddish purplish dots that look like a rash but there's no itching. It's just your body cluing you in that your liver needs a break. So for the time being I'm supplementing with caffeine, oj, and an obscene amount of water to offset how much coffee I drink. I have ADD so I think a stimulant will help in more areas than one. I just don't like the idea of the withdrawal side effects 😭

For nerve pain:

* Certain antidepressants

For musculoskeletal pain:

* Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
* Muscle relaxants

For severe or specific types of pain:
* Anticonvulsants like carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine
* Topical treatments like lidocaine patches
* Steroid injections

It's important to talk with your neurologist about your pain symptoms. They can help identify what's causing your pain and recommend appropriate treatments. Narcotics generally don't work well for most MS pain, and there are many effective non-narcotic options available.
