Hi! Has Anyone Been On Meloxicam Then Stopped It? If So, Did You Notice The Difference / Pain Came With A Vengeance?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Fort Myers, FL

I'm concerned about potential long-term effects on my stomach & considering stopping it soon. I'm mentally preparing ahead just in case. I don't want to add GI issues on top of everything else down the road. My tummy deserves ❤️ too!

Do You Believe Pain Meds Cause More Pain?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
New York, NY

Several doctors told me that. My meds cut to the least. Now the pain feels like it did before any meds- i don’t agree with them.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

No, pain meds do not cause more pain. Doctors are liars and scammers and will do anything to keep their high-paying jobs. The DEA poisons their minds into thinking opioids are these demon drugs.

Dryden, MI

My chronic pain is relatively new and it has disrupted my life a great deal. It’s ruined relationships and it’s taken great effect on my emotional and mental wellbeing. How are you guys getting through it? No one in my family seems to understand especially since I’m only 19. I feel so alone and just don’t know what to do

Does Anyone Have Any Tips Or Tricks For Migraines

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dryden, MI

Am I The Only One Pain Medication Isn’t Helping For?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dryden, MI

About two months ago I suffered a hemiplegic migraine and the pain hasn’t left since. I keep hearing people talk about how they get migraines and how well they are able to get the pain to go away in a couple hours or days and how it’s not that bad, but rn my only relief I’ve been getting is sleep. Am I the only one who is getting migraines this bad? Or am I just really weak, before this I thought I had a high pain tolerance now I don’t know?
