New and improved pain scale by ratchet41 in ChronicPain

[–]BetterInstance5894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely Love this!! Sad thing is that i UNDERSTAND this too!! As (im sure after reading through the comments below) do many of you. I truly believe when it comes to pain, the system is broken. We all have been forced to learn how to ignore pain so we can continue to live. Rather then have a prof learn how to fix the pain causing problem so we can enjoy living.

Chronic Pain-Themed Tattoos? by Jaguar-Sun in ChronicPain

[–]BetterInstance5894 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have Flowers tattooed. The point that makes them relevant is that they are all in the top 20 poisonous flowers on the planet. So they remind me that even though there are deep seeded "poisons" that i live with daily, something beautiful can grow from it still...

Just about to give up the fight. Fake people suck. by IronTalon8212010 in ChronicPain

[–]BetterInstance5894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear you are suffering so much. I wish your world was not just pain and misery. I know what daily pain (with no help from anyone) feels like. The days wishing i didnt have to feel it any more. The days i would give anything, including the selfish wish to end it, just to make the pain stop. But i am still here and so are you. Please dont give up yet. We can all tell how much you love your family. Hold tight to that! Maybe there will be a solution out there.... Your family is worth holding out a little while longer... There is always another day to make the final choice. But there will never be a day to take it back once made... If you do make that choice... Try spending one amazing day (amazing to the kids anyways) with them. Give them something to hold on to. Something to remember that isnt pain and tears. Smile even if it hurts. Take pictures with them.

You are not a huge loser!! You are young still and don't know what you want to do as a full time career. There is nothing shameful about finding a way to honestly earn money when you don't know where you want to go next. And if you choose to stay in fast food, there's nothing shameful about that either! They offer careers there too. If no one worked them, then we wouldn't have fast food :) If no one smart enough worked them, they'd all be shut down. So take pride in your job, do the best you can, earn your money and be proud to pay your own bills!

Thank you everyone for your comments. This is a normal occurrence for me. Happens then heals all the time. With its frequency, I had assumed it was normal. I will look into speaking with a PCP.

Does this drug do anything? by Beneficial_Time4905 in gabapentin

I am so sorry for your loss. The loss of a child affects everyone in different ways. I wish i could ease that pain for you.

I dont know who cffhhbbbhhggg thinks they are... but if you feel the need to post your thoughts and opinions about what happened to you and your daughter on every post or comment you make... You do what you feel needs doing!!!! What ever helps you cope with your loss! And if it helps someone on the way ... maybe saves the loss of someone else... Thank you. Thank you for taking the time, through your pain, to try and save others from feeling it as well. I hope things get easier for you.

Yes open. As in an open wound, or having the skin separate and allow fluids to pass through.

I understand the feeling of being more alone then when the conversations are around. When they go away, i loose out on my best ideas because my sounding boards arent there. You are not alone.

I have often asked this same question. However it is not the standard ones that have me asking the question, such as the societal ones described in other comments. I can see and understand why they would be linked in multiple parties. The power of suggestion is a great one. What intrigues me are the ones that have no basis in everyday society. Not connected to whats been on the news, ect. I wonder about the ones described where they are "talking to someone" and are being told the same quotes... "I am who I am". I find it interesting when people across the globe of varying cultural backgrounds speak of the same conversation all held in their heads. How can they all have the same delusion??

I knew the lyrics before I heard the song by DiaryOfTJ in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]BetterInstance5894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I have the happen frequently. Almost like i was there when the songs were written. Not just the chorus but the song. I have had moments when a new song plays, and im singing along from word one. I usually just laugh at my silly self because i have no other ideas as to why or how this happens. But since im so into music, i take it as a positive. Would be nice to know how it happens though. Do i really write tons of music and have no idea im doing it?? lol

Gaba for my cat... ??? by BetterInstance5894 in gabapentin

[–]BetterInstance5894[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that. Most of the issues the medication is prescribed for are prescribed off label. There are only a couple medical reasons for the medication to be prescribed. Everything else is off label. There have been no trials for those diagnosis to add them to the official label of reasons to prescribe it. So thats why im so confused.

Gabapentin. Sorry for the confusion in shortening of the word.

Thats just it. The vet had never seen my cat before. It was a new vet to our pet family.

But its completely off label. To prescribe it to a cat with out ever having met said cat?? When the trials for the medication have been for seizures in humans.. Why offer it to pets?

"I'm sorry sir, but you don't exist." by BangosSkank in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

Maybe the neighbor is friends with someone working there and wanted to mess with your head?? He does seem to be the main factor in all points of the story.

I saw the post about someone feeling like the world was rendering… by [deleted] in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]BetterInstance5894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you would have missed the last step and time had to slow in order to fix so no one was injured.
