My Medical Aid Fund advised that it will not pay for Lyrica as it hasn't been approved in South Africa. To expensive to continue using at own cost !

Because I have a few other conditions, that may be life threatening. I can't get the doctors o focus on my pain.

To be frank I don't care if the other things kill me, if they don't relieve the pain life isn't worth living anyway.

Anyone else had this problem, how did you get the doctors to understand.

I have a job already, but I want to go beyond the dang social security pitch, maybe even full-time, and/or at home where I don't have to walk fast to keep up with the Joneses. I've tried websites, selling stuff MLM, publishing a book, writing a children's book that needs an illustrator, and getting another degree--gosh, a hard way to find out how online schools do ya. Anyway, how can I make more money? (the degree part is still on the table, though, if possible--lots and lots of loan money… read more

I don’t know if it’s just me but when I was told we are trying to deal with your pain and give you some quality of life back 🤔really are we to feel so much better to live with health issues I mean it just can’t be me that knows by your Drs saying that to you that you actually feel so much better and still dealing with pain, quality of life back sounds like it should be said to the patients that even though they are suffering they’ll… read more

I keep seeing on the internet and keep hearing about CBD and how it helps relieve pain, or so they say. I would like to know if anyone has gotten relief from them. Also any other over the counter migraine or vitamin that may have helped someone. I really need to find something that works. Thank you.

I have multiple problems so many it’s a nightmare. First started at 20 years old. Before they knew about Fibromyalgia. Ostosarititis, Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteoporosis. Chronic pain, Chronic Fatigue like I said the list is so long. And the pain is getting worse. I had a God complex orthopedic and he left me with a high infection that I begged him that something was wrong and finally got a new doctor after 6 knee replacement I have a replacement but I lost me knee and this is a kind… read more
