Those of us with fibro all know that stress aggravates this condition. I had a really strong example of that yesterday. Had to do my taxes, which is always a highly stressful thing for me. First, anything having to do with numbers and money has always stressed me; I know that's silly, but it always has. And second, I do not understand the tax rules and am afraid of doing something wrong. Even though I had help, by the time I was done I was in full anxiety mode and by the time I got home I was in so much pain I could hardly move. I mean everything hurt. There was no part of my body that was not on fire with pain from my toes to my head. And the pain lasted all night long, so I got no sleep, and this morning I am still in pain. The Tramadol isn't relieving it in the slightest, and I have nothing else.
I desperately wish that the doctors would be willing to give me something that I could take in these cases. Anything.
I have such a hard time with this. First, I feel stupid because A) I "should not" get stressed out the way I do, and B) the doctors will not give me anything that would help with this. It seems cruel and unreasonable to me that they will not help me with this. If they felt this kind of pain, you know they'd be taking something for it!!
I would not care if it were something that would lessen the anxiety, or a pain reliever, or what it was. Anything that would keep me from having to go through this kind of pain, or that would even cut the pain in half. I think that this is the kind of thing that would probably be relieved by MMJ, althoough of course I don't know because I have not tried it. I am just about to the point of leaving the doctor's care and just going to an MMJ doctor.
