I have bought some Vitamine B1 but taking a large amount to help with nerves inflammation or nerves repairs. I'm not sure that could help with all the medication I'm taking but would like to know if some experienced some improvement in their situation with this kind of nutrition supplementation

This is a question I must answer, as I feel it helps docs understand their patient. If you want (no names will be included) if you want to use one or so words to describe "yourself". It might be - Lonely, Abandoned, Content when I can, etc... So instead of saying Blue eyes, blonde hair, etc... you are describing the YOU with Chronic Pain. Some maybe be physical (do you always look good), but much will be on an emotional level. This is what is hard for others to understand. Pain is… read more

Pancreatitis pain

I was told today that my pharmacy would no longer fill my scripts for pain meds. They said there is a shortage of supplies.

I’m a health male care giver to my wife, my stepdaughter, and now my mother. I don’t have much time for myself, but sometimes I need a release. It’s been a long time :(. Is it wrong to DIY?

I just moved here. Am about to get United Healthcare (a Medigap plan). I'm on hydrocodone/ acetaminophen, 3 pills a day plus morphine sulfate ER, 15 mgs. Been taking this amount for 8 years. ( Finally got my Kaiser doctor in CA to add a 4th, but she started a taper when the crap new CDC guidelines came out last year.) I'm so worried a new Dr will try and cut me back even more. My quality of life would be zero, if that happens! Thanks in advance for any recomendations!

So I'm just wondering if I can buy or get on prescription entonox or also known as gas and air for home. I've noted it's brilliant for when my pain is at it's height and I am really stuck. I would like that minus the hospital visit.

Any advice is a help. Thankyou for reading ❤

Hi, I have been on Lyrica for about 6 months and have put on about 12 kgs. The problem is it is mostly around my middle section and added to the chronic pain it is getting me down. Has anyone else experienced weight gain while on Lyrica and how do you combat it. Really need to be able to lose some of this weight as the extra kgs are making my back pain worse.

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.

Us the goverment planning to force chronic pain sufferers to go off their opiates?
