Insomnia

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Gillespie, IL

I have insomnia because of my pain. I don't know what to do. I have tried aromatherapy and relaxation techniques but they don't help. I don't want to take sleeping pills because I'm afraid of getting addicted to them. Any ideas? Please help!!!

My grandma drank warm milk and honey when she couldn’t sleep. I do it and it’s helped me. Also try melatonin. It’s all natural and no addiction.

Is Anyone With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Willing To Talk With Me?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sault Ste. Marie, ON

I have suspected EDS and am awaiting official diagnosis, but I am coming to find that I feel extremely alone in this as even my partners don't quite understand what I am dealing with. This has been a wonderful community of caring, understanding people, but I would very much like to connect with people who have been diagnosed with or suspect they may have EDS and perhaps learn more about living with it as even regular chronic pain tricks don't always help.

Halloween

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cincinnati, OH

What do you all do with Halloween. As people with chronic pain and/or disabled, do you sit out on the porch and give candy, turn your lights out, or do you live in an area that isn't frequented by trick or treaters? We've moved to an area that has alot of them. Before, we lived in an area just outside the city not conducive to walking door to door.

National Pain Report...a Must Read For Everyone Fighting Back For Medication!!!!!

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
St Louis, MO

I happened upon a survey/Questioner from the national pain report. They are fighting back amongst the effects the opioid crisis is having, tying our doctors hands in properly treating us with the medications we need. They collected 1700 questioners along with each patients stories. A few weeks ago their findings and recommendations were brought before the F D A. We are fighting back!!!!! The findings and recommendations can be found in part one and part two of the report. They do have a… read more

Is Anyone Else Being Forced To Get Off Their Pain Medications?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cottage Grove, WI

I have been having a rough weekend with my pain and my depression/anxiety and more so, far of what is to come, after recently finding out I’m being forced off of my pain medication. My health insurance is stating that they are tapering me down due to the obvious opioid crisis going on in the world which I completely understand, but to leave me with so many questions, no choice in this decision, no non-opioid medications or alternative treatment options being considered or offered, no plan if… read more

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Puyallup, WA

WA STATE TESTIMONY NEEDED! Looking for others in WA state who have had their opioid medication reduced or taken away since the CDC guidelines. Bill 1427 passed the WA Senate, and although some parts are good, their is a requirement for our DOH Medical Quality Assurance Commission to adopt new opioid prescribing rules by Jan. 2019.

I believe Claudia Merandi is our best bet at getting real change implemented... she has already crafted legislation in one state to benefit pain pts.... she is ah-may-zing♡

Have You In Any Way Been Impacted By The New CDC Guidelines That Pain Managers Are Using To Require Reductions In Opioids?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Green Valley/Sahuarita, AZ

I am collecting information in an attempt to contact those that are making our laws about opioid addiction. I have already contacted some law makers. When the new proposals are announce, I want to be very ready to get active in trying to be sure that those of us in chronic pain are not ignored in the process. Please be very specific if you feel that you have already been affected by new state laws or the national CDC Guidelines for pain managers and their use of opioid. Thanking you all in… read more
