Hi Everyone, thought I would introduce myself say hello.

Found this site while googling to see if site was legit or not so has already been helpful.

Still searching through it to find what I need, is very informative. Good work everyone.

Me I am a 38yo guy Living in Victoria Australia.  I am a retired MMA pro and bodybuilder whom has lived in Dallas,USA in the past as well.

I suffer from chronic pain from my career and on here to find solutions for it.'

As the Aussie doctors here will only prescribe tramadol or if lucky only 10mg OxyContin which for  a former fighter that weighs 115kg has  no effect at all.

So I basically sit in my chair all day watching tv shows and movies.  As chronic back , neck hip and hand pain keep me limited.'

Trying to find solutions ideas to improve my quality of life as I have depression and anxiety issues which are made a lot worse by the chronic pain.

Also if anyone has idead on adrenal glands.

My docs refuse to look at them but I feel something is wrong there.

Few years ago after stopping Zoloft my body stopped producing the hormone testosterone and my energy has never been the same, even with the replacement meds the docs have me on. Therefore I think maybe Zoloft damaged the adrenal gland.

I seem to find things that raise dopamine levels make me feel normal again,I appreciate a good chat so anyone is welcome to message and chat with me.

Cheers all

Wes

 
Hi West or @Blondedevil

Sorry to hear about your pain situation and I can certainly relate to it. I hope you will find some help here in getting what you need to improve things for you and if I can help just give me a shout with a @2earls in your post.

Would be happy to chat when I have a minute. As you can see, I'm trying to catch up and welcome all our new members. Glad you joined us!

Hi @2earls thanks for that I appreciate it. Actually I am having trouble still sourcing what will help.  Been given the run around by my pain specialist this past week they cancelled my appointment as he was sick and said would call with my scan results. Yet after a few days has not called or responded to the few messages I have left.  So am thinking of asking of a new referral to a different specialist.

 
I tried to send you a pm but I'm experiencing technical difficulties. Last time this happened, I had to wait a couple days before it worked so I will try again and in the meantime, I think Starlite ships to your location. 

And it sounds like you should do what you suggest and try a different doctor with better service. Even if the doc is sick, someone from the office should return your calls. Hopefully you can do better.

 
i can give you ;loads of advice on pain treatment  i used to be a chemist dispensory so i'd have to have all info but WELCOME to the site  pay ur duesand get on board

Hi @Blondedevil, 

Greetings from Bulgaria, Europe. 

You mentioned that in Australia, where you live, doctor would prescribe you Oxycontin 10 mg. In Bulgaria we have Oxycontin 40 mg and 80 mg by Mundipharma. 

As far as I know different countries have in their pharmaceutical network different miligrams available. 

I just joined this forum so I still need to read the rules... to see if sending pictures is allowed...

Hi @Alfapharm  yeah the docs here are so annoying. They mostly just dish out Tramadol. I was in tears from the pain the other day and that's only way could even convince the doc to even give me 10 mg OxyContin. Which for me has no effect unless I take more than 4 at once.  Is very frustrating here.  I gotta wait 2 more months for next appointment and docs only read page one of report on last scan, apparently it shows on next page I have a labrum tear and a cyst I didn't know about.  The chemists do stock 80mg OxyContin here but is rare to get a script for it.

Hi @Misjah would love more info, is hard here in OZ the docs don't like to prescribe even after surgery was hard to get anything other than tramadol. I would welcome a pm from you.  Thank you.

 
Welcome!

Wow, such stringent, unrealistic rules there.  So sorry to hear about your health issues.  I hope things get better for you.  Keep pushing those docs!

 
Hello Fellow Aussie!!

Sorry for the late welcome. I'm in North Queensland, we've been distracted by cyclone Debbie for a while.

You have all my sympathy. I was married to an Aussie doc for ten years and I still work with them. They have an attitude of smothering paternalism which can only come from smug privileged people. By now you will have been labelled a 'druggie' by a doctor who probably pops pills whenever he wants. This isn't helped by a government which makes us describe our medical condition to some 12yo pharmacy assistant every time we buy paracetamol with a bit of codeine in it. Don't get me started...

My problem is insomnia. I found it hard to find a vendor willing to ship to Australia. Try Starlite as 2earls suggests but email them first. Some vendors didn't even bother responding to my emails.

Our other problem is customs - more government paternalism. I have been waiting for a shipment for 30+ days now and I'm fearing the worst. When you do find a vendor, let me know how long the goods took to arrive and whether you had any probs with customs.

You must be very frustrated. Good luck!

Hi blonde devil. I've just recently moved to Melbourne from Ireland. I'm a strongman and powerlifter and I could use a chat , seeing that you are a former bodybuilder. Could you drop me a message? For a chat? Or email me. The site won't let me send you a private mail. ?

Hi @Knear! Unfortunately both of you don't have enough to send /receive PM's yet, having not yet reached 20 posts. But we do a steroid section with some great info and vendors also! If you need any assistance,I'll happily oblige if I can.

  10. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  11. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  13. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  14. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  15. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  16. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  17. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  18. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  19. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
