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 💭

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

I'd Like To Know: How Do You Get Your Motivation Back After Hitting An All Time Low?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

How do you get your motivation back after a long fight with pain. The feeling of giving up when nothing seems to go right? When those you talk to say they don't wanna hear it anymore? When you have so much that needs done but your body won't cooperate and you feel overwhelmed.

How Do I Share A Picture Of My Companion Animal.
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

His name is Bugsie, were together 24\7, sometimes he's my only company. He warns me when Ive got a migraine coming on.

He also keeps me calm through stressful situations - I have a paradoxical reaction to anxiety meds, so he is my anxiety 💊. When were out he's strictly business but relaxes & let's loose at home. I don't think I'd make it out of bed or leave… read more
