So I was prescribed 15mg MSContin on top of my 4 7.5mg Percocets daily. Oh my God. I had SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS. It made me violently ill. The first week I was actually happy because it worked very well for the pain but the longer I took the more it wrecked me....
I’m already at a pain mgt clinic but I’ve never seen a doctor there so I decided to checkout another one. So I asked my neurologist to refer me one and I had the appointment with them today....
So I would like to relock the bootloader on my galaxy tab s6 lite 2022. I have the official Samsung software still on it. I couldn’t do the update without plugging in the tablet using smart switch. I would like to be able to do OTA updates again....
I really hate chronic pain lol, obviously. Today’s been hard though. Last week I met with a new neuromuscular neurologist and she told me bad news. She disagrees with my previous neurologist on the CIDP diagnoses and thinks that I have an extreme case of small fiber neuropathy....
I’ve always read mixed things about them and for some reason I always thought they were thousands of dollars. Finally decided to look them up and to my surprise they’re not lol. Don’t ask how I got that in my head....
Flying home for Thanksgiving will be the first time I’ve flown since things got really bad. I’m 26 and I set up wheelchair service for the airport. Never in my life did I think so much could go wrong so fast....
During my apt Wednesday with my neurologist he mentioned starting me on IVIG infusions. He also referred me to a rheumatologist and I thought I had seen him first but I don’t. He wants to get me going ASAP to get my insurance to accept it along with scheduling cause that can take a bit....
Wow. I have never had someone actually truly believe me and give me something I need right away. First off I should say my neurologist is convinced I have CIDP and my reactions from my spinal tap and blood patch 3 months could be a cause to my reaction...
I’m getting an MRI on Sunday to see what damage has been done to my lumbar spine from a blood patch. Long story short, got lumbar puncture, CSF leak, blood patch = lumbar electric shocks + muscles around lumbar cramping + from soles of feet to lumbar spine feeling like I’m being stung by bees + sensation of ants crawling all...
The pain medication shortage needs to be stopped. They are attacking the wrong people to act like they are fighting the ‘opioid epidemic’. I hope everyone has been able to get their filled on time if you are even able to get them since doctors are terrified to prescribe them now a days.
I’m hoping this muscle biopsy will give me some answers. The emg I had showed muscle and nerve not working correctly in my thigh we haven’t found anything that can tell us why and what damage was done during my period of acute inflammation. Hopefully this can give us a hint as to what’s up....
I believe my chronic pain is all from TMJ and bad posture. When I do exercises to fix my posture I get pain from my TMJ down to really tight pelvis and thighs. So everything in between also. I’ve been stuck trying to figure out what to do to help myself. And of course, my spinal tap came back clean and yet I’m still dealing...
I have a Galaxy tab s6 lite and I would love to learn how to draw on it. I downloaded some drawing app and have been messing around with it. It’s kinda complicated but I want to take advantage of the SPen. I would love to draw cities and skylines or really anything. I’ve always been interested in drawing, I’ve just never...

For the first time one of my doctors acted immediately upon something without question
