Hello Ginger whenever you feel overwhelmed please feel free to reach out. I have a lot of life experience and a profession that is unforgiving, so living with pain is something I can understand. Hope you make the connections you are seeking.

Hello ginger 28 I understand how it is dealing with chronic pain . I am 53 years old and I have been dealing with chronic pain since I was 19 years old . And I have been prescribed numerous pain medication over the years . I have degenerative disc disease osteoarthritis in all of my joints And spinal stenosis. And when the pain becomes unbearable then I have morphine for the pain . I have been lucky enough but it did take years . To be referred to the pain management clinic . At my local hospital.

Hi, I am 26 and feel like I'm in my 50's, I suffer with anxiety and depression as well as fibromyalgia and chronic pain. My meds for my fibromyalgia are thankfully working now and I use massage and acupuncture for my joint pain. I love listening to music I find that really helpful if I'm depressed or in pain. I'm always happy to chat only a message away.

Well I'm an old git at the end of my 50s , but earlier in my life I suffered from Legg-Perthes disease in both my hips, which caused significant pain up until my 30s. It seems that life deals some of us bad cards, but perhaps that is the challenge we are meant to face - then again, sometimes I'm just jealous of the "other people" (but maybe they don't have such perfect lives). Be strong.

I sleep a lot. I'm looking for a new doc to hopefully change my meds. Lexapro 20mg is not helping my depression as much as it used to.
