I've never heard of the symptoms of tinnitus, nystagmus and electric shock feeling with this and would be concerned for a more neurological cause of the symptoms, such as MS...but I would presume that at this point you've run the gamut of neurologists and had that ruled out. If not, please do so. I'm not that familiar with Marinol, but I think you have the right idea to bring this up to a pain management specialist. An osteopath might not give you the answers you are looking for either. Most osteopaths have moved to a more traditional medical approach...but there are few out there that prefer a more "alternative" approach. After a brief read about Marinol, I see that it is currently approved to treat nausea, but not chronic pain (yet). So it might be prescribed for you to help with nausea, but will probably not be able to be used for an off-label use. This is a very interesting case…MFPS is a poorly understood disorder as you know.
