Pain

[hitman57]

Hi another thing I just wanted to ask if anyone else got I asked my doctor for stronger pain killers and was told I can’t have any so what she did was put carers in place for me instead I’m puzzled as to how that com-pastes or even works if any one has any idea and can throw some light on it I would be so grateful thank you all

I was diagnosed last week and told its not an inflammation so pain killers won't .its something to do with the nerves signals over working. I'm being put on epilepsy tablets in increments for me to judge where I need to be on dosage. Then stay in them a year till it shows down then apparently come off them in increments and it should be gone .I hope so.Thinking positively atm.

I admire your doctors positivity but I'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say please prepare yourself for the fact that it's highly unlikely in a year anything will be gone! Where on earth he came up with this diagnosis I have no idea. I hope he's right for your sake but please for your own peace of mind start to do some research. It's amazing how little so many GPS actually know about it xx

Thanks for advice This was rhemolgist consultant under my private health. I think he was trying to give me a positive outlook that when the epileptic drug keeps the nerves running how they should the gradual decrease of increments on drug will sustain.

I hope so.

Let see how I go .

Very frustrating for you I can imagine, is there another type of pain killer the doctor could try for you I sometimes wonder if our bodies get used too being on the same type of meds after awhile, it’s just a thought , how are you getting on with having carers in ?

Hello, I would like the idea of Carers coming in if they would tidy up for me. I don’t know if they are allowed to do light housework. Anyone know?.
