Do You Have Apathy And What Do You Think Is The Cause?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Does Anyone Have Experience Of Taking Duloxetine?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Is DEA Going To Crack Down On Those Who Take Pain Meds For Real Pain More Than What They Have Done Already?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

Is It Common For Chronic Pain Sufferers To Work With A Psychologist?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?
