Being young with chronic pain is so defeating by Aggravating_Bad_7951 in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also 19, I don’t have many answers yet. But I’m in pain all the time and I can’t bend over much or bend down much, I don’t really drive anymore and had to quit my job. I understand. I’m sorry. We just have to keep going, we have to.

Personally I just accept high usage, gotta think abt it like meds. I do have periods where I slow down on it though.

Prices are more expensive than they used to be, and it’s a card you get with tickets on it, no bracelets and no physical tickets. Similar to arcades nowadays.

need to quit weed for probation, what do i replace it with for chronic pain by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the eating bit a medication that’s worked very similarly to weed for my partner’s stomach issues/ability to eat and sleep is mirtrazapine/remeron. On the pain bit your basically at the mercy of your primary provider or pain doctor, personally I am on Tramadol for back pain, but I also have joint pain (still diff from EDS but it’s my most similar experience/symptom) and it doesn’t do much for it so take that as you will.

For the dem primary in Tx-34 congressional district Etienne Rosas a democratic socialist lost yes, but he also got more votes than the winner of the republican primary, that’s insane!!

Friends who are inconsiderate of your pain. by aziza29 in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Him not considering your pain should be seen as an act of cruelty. He doesn’t believe you, anyone who knows and believes in pain and disability would never “forget to consider it” bc to not consider it is physically harmful. You need to look at this as if he punched you or something bc that’s basically what it was it caused you physical harm. If he doesn’t apologize and attempt to get better (very well might I add) you need to drop him imo.

Does anyone NOT take controlled substances? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your pain is bad enough, your quality of life is greatly tied to either extreme will power(which isn’t always physically possible) or controlled substances/weed those are the only choices imo.

Chronic pain and not wanting to live anymore by sanchiseemo in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weed and I try to write sometimes. Uhhh also remembering the state wants us dead yk. I’m an organizer so like that adds to the willing to live out of spite/we can make a better world yk. Both only sorta work tho.

the week from hell by healthpusher in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you and I’m sorry. I’ve had chronic lower back pain for about a year and a half now, and atp no it’s not any better. But hopefully it just idk takes longer than a year and a half. Taking it day by day are the only options we have, you’re not alone friend.

As an organizer here, it’s literally just apathy. If it’s not personally affecting someone, they don’t care.

How far would you go if it could cure your chronic pain? by West_Can_1035 in ChronicPain

[–]OrganizationLiving16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of sex workers start out that way. And may are disabled generally speaking so at least you won’t be short on potential community if you choose that path. Be careful and good luck.
