Same thing happened to me...worked great the first time, but then it never helped again...nasal ketamine and medical marijuana help me more than anything else
Do you have apathy with your disease? I wonder if it comes from the opiates or the disease. I've lowered my meds but no change in apathy. It's most of the time, not all. I'm not sure if I need a different anti-depressant or what. What is your take?
Sounds right to me.marinac.i hope you hang around .you can help a lot.you seem to know a lot of stuff. Thanks and god bless.
I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, amongst other things, but I'm in the process of changing over from an antidepressant that I've been taking for 27 years, for anxiety and depression. Im changing from Clomipramine to Duloxetine because Duloxetine, as well as being an antidepressant, apparently helps with chronic pain. I wondered if anyone on here has experience of either, changing over, and/or taking Duloxetine? I'd appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you.

My husband told me that Pres. Trump said he’d like to do away with half of all pain meds use! I’ve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30’s since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable . I’ve been on them straight since then , Oct 21st at 1:10 pm ,1997. You don’t forget the date that changed your life. I’ve been treated like a drug seeker all my life on meds. Once and awhile you’ll find a dr who knows pain… read more
Hey Kiddo, Believe half of what you HEAR and all of what you SEE!! If Trump wants to be president--he knows--the drugs are for street use. That is what he wants to stop. We have to believe in… read more
What can you do for a tailbone that has arthritis? I've got cortisone shots but I need them every month and they won't give them that often. The pain when I sit and then try to stand is unbearable.
I have had RFA done on my lumbar spine and my neck. I wish it were a permanent fix but the pain does come back because your nerves grow back.
I'm not saying I'm suicidal, but I do wish I could just die rather than live in chronic pain and treatment resistant depression.
Yes dear many times
I know that they are bad people out there, but we are not one of them, and yet we get treated like we are bad, because we are in pain and what helps us is being decided by people who do not feel what we do
Ur NOT a bad person DONT ever let the B******s get U down M2
I work for a pharmacy that specializes in serving chronic pain patients and we know the financial strain that medication can cause. Does this make psychological help unaffordable?
Not for me at least
