XYREM HELPS CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS SLEEP
Ross Hauser, M.D.

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 occuring 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.

I could go on but here are the nuts and bolts:

  1. Chronic pain often leads to poor sleep

  2. Poor sleep leads to poor energy

  3. Poor energy leads to more sorrow, depression, and more pain

  4. Xyrem is a salt of a natural substance gamma hydroxybutyrate

  5. Xyrem helps people with chronic pain sleep

  6. The sleep is deep

  7. When the sleep is deep hormones are made that help the body heal

  8. When the body heals the pain goes away, especially if the person receives Prolotherapy

If you or a loved one are having a terrible time sleeping, come in to get an evaluation for Xyrem.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
