In conjunction with their physician or a pain management specialist, patients may want to experiment with different pain killers to see if any of them seem to lower not just pain but other disease symptoms. If they feel a particular pain medication is lowering immunopathology they are able to tolerate, they may want to ask their physician to change to a medication that does not elicit such an effect. | In conjunction with their physician or a pain management specialist, patients may want to experiment with different pain killers to see if any of them seem to lower not just pain but other disease symptoms.

* **naltrexone** – an opioid receptor antagonist used primarily in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. Naltrexone would certainly appear to affect the ability of the MP to return the human immune system to full function again. Lymphocytes express opioid receptors, probably for a good reason. Even though that reason is not fully understood, it is not a good idea to block those opioid receptors (with naltrexone) if one expects to be able to return your immune system to normal. | * **naltrexone** – an opioid receptor antagonist used primarily in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence.
