I am fairly new to this illness, but with my need to know in any research, I had to look for answers. I find myself happy to read all of your experiences. Things I noticed with myself was that I was diagnosed with PTSD many years ago and thought I was doing so well. My body seems to be...

Does anyone think a chiropractor would help with the muscle and nerve pain?

I reacted badly to gabepentin, but that was me. I can't get rid of pain, and several doctors would give me anti depressants, which is not my problem, other than "anyone would get depressed with chronic pain every single day for over a year now." That was my quote. I really don't think doctors...

I have never been sick until I came back to Wisconsin and I am 77 yrs old. I was fine in Georgia except for my knee. I have had so many medications prescribed to me by Bellin Health here and every one has upset me. Do you think cold weather has a lot to do with this?

I never was sick while living in the South. I moved to Wisconsin and my body has been torn apart. My body hates medicine and cold weather.

What is kratom?

I could not take Cymbalta or anything else. I haven't had medicine all my life, and they are trying to over medicate me. Every medication I get I am allergic to for some reason. I did have a shot in my hip and back and neither one helped at all. I just want some pain medication (I do know of...

Yes, at night I do my dishes and do some exercises. I always do feet exercises. I also have two stairs to climb to get into kitchen--10 times a day at least. I also have a foot bicycle. This pain (or something) is causing nausea and heartburn. I was in hospital ICU in Oct for a week, and they...

My pain is so chronic and the only thing that helps (I only had the prescription for 10 days) is oxocodone. However, doctors are so scared to give this out. Everything else I have bad problems with. I just want it until I can start on physical exercises. It does NOT make me high, thank God...

Thanks for the ginger tea idea. I hate meds and my doctor has given me a medicine-cymbalta. However, I am 77 yrs old and afraid to take it. I can't stand the pain anymore.

I use oxygen, but when I left hospital (Just another horror story) There is a neubolizer to breath in to your lungs. Ask your doctor, they have to approve it. It helps me a lot, and I had tests and my oxygen is fine. I do have asthma etc since I moved here, so I also use a disk twice a day...

I have been in chronic pain over a year now. Primary doctor had no answers?? So I suggested to him since I also have pain in my bones and all over my body, sometimes flu like burning inside my legs. I have been to Pain Management, Breathing Dr. to test me, another Primary doctor, and OSMS...

I have had flu like symptoms; it feels like the inside of my legs are burning so bad with my pain. I had a shot in my hip over a month ago, yesterday a shot in my back. My second Primary doctor read from the Medical book and said I did not have Fibromyalgia, although I showed him my list from...
