  Hi allIt's been a long time since we was on here. I'm not sure why I was gone so long but I need to vent.I'm having what I call "suicide pain". When pain is so bad death would be better I am NOT considering suicide I promise but sometimes it seems like it would be preferable to what's going on in my body. I was I a car wreck in 2002. Severe neck and back injuries. Right now the nerve pain is going into my head causing a massive migraine ( my eye are crossing just trying to type this).I'm...

  Hi all! So I have been on like a 5 day migraine. It finally started easing up a few days ago until last night. I went to bed and suddenly have really sharp pain. It has lasted all day today as well. I have never had this type of headache/migraine. It's mostly on one side, and to give a visual, it's almost like a cracked hardboiled egg type pattern. One side a couple places and one long pain on the other side. Also behind one eye off and on.Any ideas? Thank you!

  Hi all! It's been awhile since uve been here. Long story on that so i'll move on!Ive had chronic headaches and migraines for almost as long as I can remember. I cannot take any kind of traditional migraine meds ( imitrex etc) due to heart issues. I normally rely on excedrin or butalbital. I switch off and have to go to off both often to avoid rebound.I have noticed lately that when I take either, when ( if) it helps I get super dizzy shortly after the headache/migraine leaves. My forehead...

  Hi all! So I haven't been around for quite awhile, and let me tell you a lot has changed! So I was diagnosed with gastritis back in ( I think) 2014. I had severe nausea, weight loss, trouble eating. During Endoscopys I also had an ulcer. I was treated (?) Accordingly. Well, things just went from bad to worse! From 2013 till today my weight went from 135-140 down to 92 pounds. I had a heart attack in 2011, so my cariocardiol was freaking out!  The gastritis was there, but I knew there was...

  Wow, I had not realized how long it had been since I wrote here! So much has happened. Its been a long road, where to start. My pain is being managed better.... After much argument with my Dr! I was on Opana ER once a day ( 30mg) plus 15mg morphine 3x a day. Well, the Dr decided he wanted me off the morphine. Ok, he put me on the 30mg Opana ER as well as a 10mg Opana ER. It worked pretty well! Well there was a problem with pharmacys getting Opana, ( and mine failed to mention that they could...

  Hi all, I'm new here.  I am a 53 year old mom of two amazing daughters and.i am a heart attack survivor. It was 6 years ago and I was lucky because I waited till the next day to go in! It was mild but I did have 2 stents put in my heart.I have been fine until the last 2 days, I have had this odd pain/discomfort in my diaphragm/sternum area, pain in my back, and pain in my left arm. I have had gas, a little burping, but none of it helps much. For the most part I don't think it's my heart,...

  Hi all! So I posted on my other post, but I thought I would post here to.I'm doing a bit better. As a friend put it, fluctuating! My dog Toby is buried in a place I can visit and say hi. My loving boyfriend took such good care of it and me. I spoke with my daughter's everything is ok. They were just caught up in their own lives as young people do sometimes. Everyone is going to help me with my jewelry business! Emotionally and mentally! I have everything I need to do it, I realized I was...
