Fighting Fibro

I have found that Kratom helps me during a flare. Red is suppose to help inflammation but I'm an opposite and white helps me

I just got diagnosed with Fibro a couple of months ago, I kind of had a thought that I might have it. My mom has had it and Lupus for many years so I am familiar with Fibro. To make it even more fun for the last three years I have been dealing with arthritis in my back and both hips, faciitis  in my feet, and recently tendonitis in my right shoulder. The fibro is mostly  in my upper body, neck, arms, hands and upper back. The problem is there are so many different types of pain its hard to tell what is actually causing pain in specific body parts. For example I think my problem with my shoulder is enhanced or increased because of my fibro but there is no way to tell. And Dr's suck so I'm just getting used to suffering all the time but sometimes it makes you want to lose your mind, there are days I just wish someone would shoot me like a wounded horse. LMAO

 
I have skin rashes that pop up when I have a fibro attack. I had a rash start on my hip about two weeks ago and I have noticed my feet are so damn ice cold to the touch that they hurt so bad.

I can wear three pairs of socks and stand on the heating pad for hours at a time yet they are still so cold and painful.

And other times my rib cage hurts, like I got punched in the side or something. Sucks.

 
Im so glad Im not alone and going crazy.  Im in my 4th year of the diagnosis. They changed everything about my medicine and now I'm without pain meds and suffer horribly from pain.  The Gaba,  Cym and Robatin don't do anything for pain.  I'm also a migraine sufferer.  So I'm miserable daily.  So glad I found this group though.  Im in good company. 

 
My heart goes out to all of you who suffer from any type of chronic pain or any type of disability. There is a need to have somewhere where we can share our problems and not be judged or labeled and dismissed as "pill seekers".

Woe to anyone who has a malady that only responds to pain killers or benzos. Most doctors would prefer for us to suffer and lose our quality of life over prescribing these meds.

I've been prescribed the same meds as you @Nikkemo64along with many more. I wonder if they actually work for anyone or if it just makes the doctor look like they are trying to treat you?

To @aarons and @Meowtown and all of our members; I hope you have only good days for the holiday season and a better new year.

for me before I had the fibro I had chronic pain from the military and a back injury that I received on duty. For the pain they wanted to give me everything but opiates, I think I have had every muscle relaxer and anti-inflamatory known to man kind and even a couple of different types of nerve pain meds. Non of them work. And not only do the opiates work for my pain, they level  me out. I don't need huge doses but I find that they help with my anxiety even better than my antidepressants. Now that I have fibro on top of all of this its just a nightmare. I am lucky that the Fibro is mostly held in check by meds but i had a case of the fibro flu a couple of weeks ago and that was brutal. Anyway I forgot my point, lmao. have a good day everybody.

 
Lol @aarons I think your point was that doctors throw meds that are not even intended to fix your problems at you rather than do the unthinkable and prescribe opiates. 

I have a back and neck injury that I have dealt with all my life from an accident when I was only 18. Now I am getting arthritis which is pretty unpleasant, but not as bad as fibro from what I hear about it. 

It sounds like fibro has a lot of different symptoms or maybe I should say types of pain? I'm interested in learning more about it if anyone ever needs to vent.

 
I don't post much always just read, read, reading but I'm feeling so miserable and needed to vent. 

I suffer badly from fibro like many of you. I am still able to work but just barely get by. I spend pretty much all of my time outside of work propped up in bed. I try to do chores and I can get about 20 minutes before I can no longer stand. I have tried all the standard protocol stuff like lyrica, gabapentin and various antidepressants (I'm completely intolerant of every SSRI I've ever tried). Pretty sure all of that shit is just snake oil. Again, probably like many of you, I can only manage a semi productive life while taking opioids. 

I should've known better especially this time of year but I waited too long and I let the holiday season totally screw me over, so no meds for me right now.

I have to go back to work in a few days and I am in no way ready to do that. I've accomplished absolutely nothing in the nearly 2 weeks that I've had off. The idea of going to work after nothing but misery for days just feels so raw. I've even developed a new pain in my elbow that is just so nasty, I can barely lift or twist my arm.

Feeling so hopeless and I want 2018 to go fuck its self!

 
@aarons yes exactly.  I also have migraines that only respond to opiates.  Ive had migraines for 33 years now.  I know what works for me.  Doctors would rather me overdose on benadryl and Tylenol, then prescribe what truely works for me.  One doctor started pulling up articles about overdoses.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
