A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Portland, OR

I already know what I have, and right now stuff is a guessing game with meds and all that. what im having the most trouble with is coping and handling it all.

I guess thats just what depression is, but I think im having trouble handling it all

Huntsville, AL

I have insomnia because it was about to rain. Still can't sleep. Do I get up and clean up something small or big, so something else serious, or binge watch the TV / read a dumb /fun/pre textbook still. It's 330 where I am so hurry up and answer, lol 8+) be cool.

I have tried Insight Timer. It has many different meditations and even LOA affirmations. Sometimes, though, I fall asleep while they're talking and then wake up when they finish, so oh, well.

Does anyone have a problem where you tell friends, family and coworkers that you're hurting and they try to turn it into a competition where they hurt too and their pain is worse?!?

Can Anyone Recommend A Compassionate Pain Management Doctor And His/her Clinic Inn Reno NV?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Reno, NV

I just moved here. Am about to get United Healthcare (a Medigap plan). I'm on hydrocodone/ acetaminophen, 3 pills a day plus morphine sulfate ER, 15 mgs. Been taking this amount for 8 years. ( Finally got my Kaiser doctor in CA to add a 4th, but she started a taper when the crap new CDC guidelines came out last year.) I'm so worried a new Dr will try and cut me back even more. My quality of life would be zero, if that happens! Thanks in advance for any recomendations!

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I've had no constipation issues. It's calcium supplements that bind me up! I use Sena, an OTC stool softener and/or liposomal vitamin c.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Merritt, BC

I don't need the debate again about the diagnosis of Central Sensitization being fake or bologna. How many deal with nerve damage, Central Sensitization and degenerative disc disease and have sharp jabbing pains in the shoulder blades or throughout your back in the areas of the nerve damage and degenerative discs?
