I wanted you to know, your last post motivated me to get the ball rolling on a local Chronic Pain and Invisible Illnesses support group I've talked about for over a year. We need each other, and it should be real good to have some face-to-face time with people just like you and me. Wish you lived near by ;)

Sorry for all your pain, I truly am. All kidding aside.
I had my hair trimmed, do you think it's too short?

UR Welcome
Gee, I didn't see that you were online, we could have chatted!
You know if I bend forward and all my wrinkles come together and I smile really big, it looks like I have dimples? Yep!!! Not bad for a balding 104 yr. old woman wearing Ruby Shoes.

Close Chronic Pain
Treatments
- Heat Not Working
- It only helps a litle bit and rarely.
- Marijuana Somewhat Helpful
- Marijuana is realy a wonderful alternative to opiates and other heavy narcotics. It doesn't stop or even 'help' neuropathic pain. But it does relax me and it also helps with my appitite. I stopped using it because of legal issues and the pain clinic I am with now requires urine testing and any illegal drugs and you're out! But I stopped using years ago on my own for personal reasons. I wish the 'powers that be' would start to see things less in black and white and more in shades of grey.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- As long as a pain spike doesn't break through I can get a little inner peace. But, as I get older every time I move or do anything the pain just escalates to unbearable.
- Methadone Somewhat Helpful
- I've been on 50mg x 4 for years. It's the only drug that I can have more control over amounts and when and how I take it. It has it's problems as anyone who has been on it for any length of time knows all too well.
- Morphine Somewhat Helpful
- I've used or tried just about every drug out there. At one time I was taking 1000 mg MS twice a day and then down to 100mg twice a day and everything inbetween. All in all the meth. worked better for me.
- Nerve Blocks Not Working
- The first nerve block (1973?) sent my pain into the outer limits and I passed out during the procedure after screaming and yelling for 15 or 20 minutes. My NeuroSurgeon was a real asshole!
- Neurontin Not Working
- This med was one of the first I used when I started seeking treatment for pain - anout 12 years ago. I hated the way it made me feel.
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- This is my breakthrough med. It helps when I stack it on top of the Meth. But, still, nothing stops or eases the pain - just loops me out enough not to care as much. That's not entirely true if I take enough I do have less pain, I just can't do anything, can't remember anything and don't care about anything.
- TENS Not Working
- Never got any relief with external or enternal TENS.
