This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
Hello. I have chronic unrelenting pain. I have always suffered with headaches, but for the past18 months they have gotten much worse.
I have acid reflux too, and IBS, and the past six months have been the most agonizing and relentless in my life. The migraines come and last and are horrific. They last for days and when they seem to fade and turn into a headache which I now have all the time, they come back again.
I live alone, and am so tired and broken. I have sat on my bed for most of the year for hours simply enduring. The people I reached out to simply could not understand the level and consistency of pain I am always in.
I have tried so many medications but they all give me bad side effects so I cannot take them. I have felt sucidial and pull myself back only to suffer again, alone on my bed, not wanting to cry to make the pain worse.
Last year my head was always in pain and I fought to be in the world and carry on, but now I just feel too worn down, and broken. All of my inner strength seems to have gone to fight the constant pain. It still hurts so much that my life has been reduced to always being in pain and feeling so lonely with it.
I wanted to share my story and meet others who understand.
I also wanted to ask how do you cope with the pain, and lonliness?
I have no husband, my mother is cold and lives in Wales.
I feel so alone with this and long to connect with others who understand constant pain and the lonliness of it.
Thank you.

I completely understand how you feel. I have been in constant pain with muscle/joint pain and numbness for almost a year. I am in pain every single day and no medicines seem to help me either. I have cried myself to sleep many nights. I have been to many doctors, but no one knows what is wrong. I feel like no one around me understands what it is like to be in pain everyday. Please do not lose hope, I am here to talk to you if you want. When I am in pain, I try to think of the good things in my life, because stress makes my pain worse. My Dad was diagnosed with acute leukemia and I am not sure how much longer I have with him and it breaks my heart. Everyone around me seems so happy and I wish I could rewind my life before I felt this pain and when my Dad was healthy. I have to remember that life moves on, even if we want it to or not, it does not stop for us or rewind. Do you have any good friends that you can talk to about it? Hopefully this support group can help!!
this is a great place to be apart of, such caring people here...im sorry you are alone in your battle to beat the pain, not any more, you have this group to help you through your struggles
so let me welcome you please feel free to post your feeling s here about your pain (((hugs)))
I'm sorry you're suffering so badly with these headaches. Are they migraines? I just went to dr. yesterday because of my migraines which I believe are coming From disc trouble in neck. They wanted me to do brain MRI to rule out a mass, but I had a panic attack and couldn't have the scan. They'll have to put me out for that one.
They are doing Botox injections for chronic migraine s now and are having great luck with It. If you have a dr. for the headaches, I would check It out.
You've come to the right place. You'll find some caring, helpful people here who are always around to listen. Hope you get some relief.
Hugs,
((((((())))))))))

Every day doctors are realizing that gluten intolerance spans a much wider spectrum from those who have no problem to those with full blown Celiac. You could be mildly gluten intolerant and not have a single doctor ever notice, test, or even consider it.
At least a trial gluten free 90 period can not possibly cause you harm like the meds you are trying now. Look for IMPROVEMENT in that time. Total healing takes up to a year or more.
Don't' give up until the full 90 days. It takes time to detox from gluten and for your immune system to recover and heal the body enough to notice improvement.
I know what it feels like to be desperate, to struggle and face death. I was so close no one can explain how I managed to survive. Please at least try it just in case so you don't die.
