What Do You Enjoy On TV

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Billings, MT

I live with chronic pain and watch life go by from my recliner. I used to be a nurse and was too busy to watch tv.
Life looks a lot different from my recliner. I wondered what others like to watch on TV. I can't sew anymore and can only knit for awhile before my hands go numb.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I'm in the same situation. I love to crochet but my hands go numb and hurt till there's no enjoyment left

Yesterday I had a cortizone shot in my knee. I was up al night with fast pulse and pounding heart. I got 3 hours sleep. Is this common?

Skin Care

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Australia

Just curious as one of the many symptoms of fibromyalgia is really dry skin
Mine is so dry and painful and cracks and bleeds
Was wondering what others use for moisturiser to replenish the moisture
I have tried Vaseline intensive care and currently using Nivea but nothing seems to be helping
😩😩😩😫

Lupus and other things dry my skin out. Nothing seems to help and I have tried everything. The doctors have me using Cetaphil instead of soap.
