Oh dear Hidden you sound very down. It is a lot to put up with and some days you can cope and other days you want to say ENOUGH.

I think we have all been there at some point.

If you have been feeling like this for a while and continue to feel this way, then you could be depressed and need to see your doctor.

Sending a soft hug.

Hi Hidden

I really am so truly sorry to read this my friend and I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to your pain issues. It may be an idea to try some alternative therapies? I would talk to your doctor about what is safe / best to try i.e. Supplements, Hydrotherapy, Physiotherapy, TENS Machine, Flotation Tanks, Acupuncture etc. There are plenty of options and one may work for you?

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

That's unacceptable. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I get the impression youre not under the pain specialist? Ask your Rheumatologist to refer you. Don't accept a no. Say you said you can't do anything! They'll normally be able to manage your pain better. Then ask to be seen by another Rheumatologist. Someone competent. All the best. 💗

Blessings.

Hi there

Has your GP offered you any other pain meds?

Also have you ever been referred to a Pain Clinic? If not, ask your GP to refer you to one.

I have had Fibro & ME for 36 years.

Living in pain 24/7 is just how it is to me now.

Please make an urgent appointment to see your GP if you feel as though you may harm yourself.

I promise you will be taken seriously.

Are you on any antidepressants? If not you may find that they will help.

Please tell your GP how you are feeling.

Wishing you much peace

Hi my friend

I am sorry. I wasn't telling you how long I have had Fibro for any other reason than to let you know that I can completely empathise with how you are feeling.

I have 24/7 severe pain and some days it seriously gets me down too xx

Also my rhumatoligist is amazing it sounds a bit harsh what he said but he told me the truth about my fibro pain and I was pleased he didn't lie and say everything's going to be fine when it isn't I'm going on Wednesday for a injection in both shoulders under a radioligist and I'm having a shoulder scan at same time I'm really scared about this as well xxx

Hiya

I just wondered if you knew that there is a side effect that not everyone knows about with Pregabalin which is it can make depression an awful lot worse.

I was put on it last year and ended up in a very very dark low dangerous place.

I have spoken to a few other members on the forum who have experienced the same thing.

I completely understand about being sick of 24/7 pain. It does drive you round the bend.

Are you able to do anything like the adult colouring books you can buy.

Trying to find something to distract you from the pain is a good idea.

Not true. Been to many drs until I went to New York City hospital. Daily doses of vitamin C proven to help, 1000 mg, also muscle relaxers at night and Vicodin for pain. Gave me my life back. Went from walking nil to 2 miles. Can do ADLs most days. You should get a rheumy that specializes
