Dealing with Chronic Pain and Lack of Motivation

Haha I have been doing that lately too! It has been freaking me out honestly how much fog I been in/ thank you so so much everyone for the advice and words 💕

You can say that again foggy isn’t even close I forget where I put things and they are in my hand 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am on the same dose changing diet can help but is not a cure all. Muscle relaxers can help but can also make you foggy and lethargic. Stay strong 💜

I’m on the same medication I also have to take a muscle relaxer on top of that. I understand how you feel the cramps and pain keep me up at night I resent people who can just go to bed I’m up pacing the floor at night because everything hurts

And don’t eat dairy 👍

Don’t eat sugar and gluten!!! Eat a lot of greens, turmeric, ginger. A lot of anti inflammatory foods and believe me you gonna feel better

Awesome I think I’ll bring it up during my apt on Monday I’m just so tired of feeling crap - I appreciate all the feedback and help so much I really hope this new dr has some ideas she seems really nice so I am hopeful the other rheumatologist was ok but I just feel like I am not taken seriously ❤️‍🩹

Yeah that's a middle does. I'm taking 900mg daily which is small for fibromyalgia. Muscle relaxers like tizanidine or what I used to sleep at night

Maybe they can give muscle relaxers or something too 🙏

I’ll have to see - I am going to the drs Monday to go over labs and X-rays with a new rheumatologist so fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I can get maybe a better treatment plan in place. thanks everyone!

I take muscle relaxers and pain mexiconfd ❤️

I’m taking 100mg 4x a day, which I understand is a tiny dose. I probably need more, though mine is for neuropathy that we don’t know the cause of yet.

I’m on a way smaller dose for cerebral palsy and chronic pain, but this sounds like a middle dose. I think the max is something like 3600 (for seizures). A family friend was on 2400 at night for phantom limb pain after amputation.
