What relationships? Everything tanked when I got too tired and started dealing with too much pain to ignore the fact I was disabled. My ex husband my mother my older kids my siblings and friends ... every single one of them started treating me like trash cause I couldn't physically do so many things I had been forcing myself to do. When I said thats its I got called fake. I got called a liar. I got called mental. I got told it was all in my head. I got told stop begging for attention. I got told I was toxic. I wasn't allowed to go to the doctor for the right treatment. I wasn't allowed to take the meds I was given for my condition ... my ex husband stole them sold them used them and threw them out. He tried offing me and our youngest more than once. My sister cheered him on at every attempt. Even with proof my family refuses to believe I am disabled ...all the medical proof in the world and its not enough. I had to sign up for snap and child support and the workers said I was too smart to be pulling this crap. I had to have back surgery and got told I was faking it. Huge hole in my back I was bleeding out of and I had to go in and talk to a dcf supervisor and show her how bad it was cause the workers kept threatening to teach me a lesson and forced me to move heavy furniture and equipment by myself for faking the injury and surgery. Yeah that didn't go over too well when I showed the supervisor the giant hole with busted stitches from what they did! I will never understand any of it. I got disabled thanks to a doctor making a mistake and I got called faking it! A family member got involved in an accident years after and they all flocked to that person with all the support in the world they could muster! I hope that family member and their sister hating spouse (im the sister) are rotting in some serious fires down there since they both offed at the same general time!

Has anyone been treated with PEMF, and is it legitimate or overhyped?

Unfortunately, the search results don't contain specific experiences from MyChronicPainTeam members about PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy for chronic neck pain or cervicogenic headaches.

However, members have discussed other alternative treatments like cryotherapy and massage therapy. Some have found relief with complementary approaches alongside their regular treatment plans.

For chronic neck pain specifically, members have shared experiences with:
- Chiropractic care combined with massage
- Various pain medications
- Physical therapy approaches

Since PEMF isn't covered in the available discussions, it would be worth asking your pain specialist or healthcare provider about whether it's appropriate for your specific condition. They can help you understand if there's solid evidence supporting its use for cervicogenic headaches and neck pain.

Keep searching for a provider who understands your diagnosis and has experience treating it. Sometimes finding the right combination of treatments takes time and patience.
