    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines for starters and live with chronic pain.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      This helped my migraines and some of my neck and back pain.
      Flexeril Not Working
      I tried this but it never helped me.
      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      It depends where the pain is, what kind of pain it is for this to sometimes benefit me.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Worked great at first but along with other short acting opiates, after a while you can't take enough of them to do the job and then you end up with another problem you could really do without!
      Lidoderm Somewhat Helpful
      I would say this is the same as the heat. It depends alot on where and what kind of pain.
      Lyrica Not Working
      I tried this for a couple of months and saw no difference. I then had to get off it because it cost too much and I saw no relief.
      Meditation Not Working
      Iv tried but when you are in chronic pain along with all the other symptoms I find it very difficult to meditate. So even though I tried I can't seem to do it or benefit from it.
      Methadone Somewhat Helpful
      I have been on and off this at different points in my life. The first time it worked great. This last time it started working and then just stopped.
      Morphine Not Working
      I am one of those people that morphine does not work on.
      Nerve Blocks Somewhat Helpful
      It helped a little on my knee but not on my back where I was hoping it would work or on my legs which I thought would benifit from my knee injections.
      Neurontin Not Working
      Never worked even though the Dr's seem to keep me on this although I told them for years it's useless!
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      It worked great in the beginning. The first couple of years I had pain relief but with chronic pain you have pain all of your life and these type of meds just don't work for the long haul and then you end up with some bad side effects you could do without.
      Physical Therapy Considering
      I think I would like to try this out.
      Topamax Not Working
      Does not work, never did!

      I want to so bad because I know it will help me but don't know how yet.
      Group Therapy Considering

      Leave Working / Worked
      I have left.
      Psychotherapy Considering
      I will be doing this.
      Talking Working / Worked
      It always helps to talk about it and not deny it.
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      Two years ago which seems like just yesterday I lost everything. My newborn baby and my other two children. My husband, my home and everything I once owned, along with any self esteem or respect I had for myself and from others, and became homeless. I continue without them all today.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      I can't really say if this helped me or not.
      Getting Angry Working / Worked
      helps a little for some time.
      Grief Counseling Considering
      I know I need this!
      Keeping Busy Not Working
      It's hard to keep busy when you are left with nothing and nothing to do.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      At first I couln't even pray but now it's everything!
      Psychotherapy Considering
      I want to do this.
      Remembering Not Working
      I found this to only make things worse for me it wasn't until I put space between me and what I lost was I able to start getting better.
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      I went through this completley alone. I had not one friend and not one family meber around or who cared

    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I inherited migraines from my Dad and his Dad. Want to know what the latest meds are for getting rid of one.

      Treatments

      This helps somewhat or from stopping migraines caused by food or if you are sensitive to getting migraines from certain foods.
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      It worked for my migraine but it made me feel sick and out of breath when I took it so I would only take it if it was very serious.
