    • I’m With You

      From Jennifann August 20

      Please don't give up. There are doctors that can help you. I have been to so many doctors and keep getting referred to someone else. It is so frustrating but I know someone can help us.

      Take care!!

      From ThreeSocks August 13

      Thank you for you add request. You ever had so many things wrong in your life you can't get started on anything. For me to get medical help I need to have a family doctor, but I don't have money to get one. To get help form DSHS you need to become a ward of the state - their state. For what, so they can make me one of their case projects. This whole year has been completely demoralizing.

      Nevermind me, just venting a little :). Your sweet hope you have a great weekend!

    • Close Chronic Pain

      my story is like so many others of chronic pain. i was in a car wreck that left me disabled 6 years ago. i have had 2 spinal surgerys and multiple procedures for my neck. i also have suffered from chronic daily headaches for 20 years. the headaches have gotten worse in the last 2=3 years and i am trying to live with the pain and also find a doctor who will find out whats causing the headaches instead of jusf pills or injections.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      helps a little with the neck and depression. needs to be 80 mg to be effective according to the dr. doesnt help the headaches
      Flexeril Working / Worked
      helps me sleep if nothing else. doesnt help the headaches
      Heat Working / Worked
