I'm allergic to ibuprofen and all nsaids so I can only take Tylenol and it does not touch my pain at times I do take it to dull the pain but really nothing works so I have given up on anything helping my pain πŸ˜ͺ

It sucks! The first time my doctor prescribed an addictive medication, I was more afraid that it would work than if it didn't. It almost feels like the same concept as cosmic horror, like you get a taste of something unreachable.

YES. I weaned of all my prescription pills to use alternative medicine. But now since diagnosed and it's spread I've lost functional quality of life and disabled, low income I had to get back on pain meds to keep on weight, chew ect. All my Dr's won't give me anxiety meds back, even though it's a treatment for dystonia. Instead they say get dbs. So I'm going for deep brain surgery. Honestly I HATE pills! Zofran caused this hell dystonia πŸ˜† 🀣
