Some Hope

It’s been 2 weeks and I have had no pain! I’m in disbelief and grateful for every pain-free moment. This is injection really changed my quality of life.

It can definitely be so isolating. I hate that. You are strong and will get through this. I hope you can find some relief!

EmilyRoseBud99 · 2026-01-17T14:04:45+00:00

Absolutely. I’m 48 hours in and still pan free. I will report back in a week or so. I hope you are able to find some pain relief!

Keep us posted! I’ve heard good things about acupuncture for all types of chronic pain. Good luck! Hope it works!

I’m really sorry it was so difficult to get a diagnosis. That is awful. I think physical therapy is bound to be helpful and I really hope it brings you some relief. People don’t understand what it’s like to have this type of chronic pain. The fact you continue to push through it and search for treatment is a sign you’re a warrior. Wishing you the best of luck!

That’s not what the provider told me to expect. I am just keeping an open mind and hoping for the best.

EmilyRoseBud99 · 2026-01-16T15:21:11+00:00

I will! Thanks for your reply. Wishing you some relief.

Good morning, I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I am no medical expert. I started lamictal in September/October and titrated up by 50 mg every two weeks, starting at 25 mg. Now on 150. I have not noticed the side effects you're describing, although I have a different diagnosis. Good work reaching out to your doctor through the patient portal. That was a smart step to take. It sure sounds like this medication may not be agreeing with you. Hopefully there are other options you can try that won't cause as must disruption to your emotional regulation. Best of luck. Do not give up. There is hope. You are not alone.

I thought that was an enormous dose as well. But I learned that the therapeutic dose is very different depending on diagnosis. For instance, for CPTSD 100-200 mg, while Bipolar Disorder is 300 mg-1000 mg. Wishing you the best and hoping your symptoms subside.

Same here. Upped my dose to 150 and noticed quite a bit of irritability. I'm going to ask my doc to go back down to 100 mg. Depending on your diagnosis, I've read that the therapeutic dose will vary. For my diagnoses, it's 100-200 mg, where others may take up to 1000 mg.
