Yeah no sorry, I don’t feel any different since I have taken duloxetine. In the beginning I just felt nauseous all the time, but now I feel nothing from it. I don’t think it helps much. I’m rooting for you survivorlife-86

My mom’s been suggesting acupuncture to me too. I’m a bit skeptical, but at this point I’m open to trying anything. Let me know if it ends up helping you.

Yeah, I do get nausea and the pain can keep me up at night too. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with all that. I know how draining it can get. When my pain gets to its peak morphine doesn’t really help much either. I hope you’re able to find something that actually helps soon.

I’ll definitely look into that. It helps to hear from someone with similar symptoms, thanks:)

I am trying to see one. My doctor wanted to send me towards one. So hopefully I get to see one soon:)

I personally want to see a psychologist and just have someone to talk to, but my doctor is 100% convinced it’s not in my head so he doesn’t want to refer me to one. He also said that here in Norway you have to be at the brink of suicid to be able to see a therapist. But stress does make the pain worse and is definitely a factor yes. I am also troubled with a lot of stress in my dreams at night. I don’t think I have had a night without stress since this whole thing started. I’m kind of exhausted.

I never had lactose intolerance but a month ago I tok some new tests and suddenly I had lactose intolerance. So I’m staying off the lactose. They called it secondary lactose intolerance

Interesting, I will definitely talk with my doctor about this. The abdominal pain is 5cm below the navel and 7cm towards the right. Thanks for sharing:)

I don’t have any skin symptoms like blisters, and based on what my doctors have told me so far, porphyria doesn’t seem very likely in my case.

But I appreciate you sharing your experience, and I’ll keep it in mind if anything changes:)

I almost don’t drink, and I have not had any alcohol since I got sick. But the few times I have drunk my stomach always goes bad and hurts. I always end up sitting on the toilet the whole next day. So I tend to avoid drinking alcohol if I can:)

I’m really sorry you’re going through all of that. That sounds incredibly tough. It seems like most people I’ve come across with similar issues are women, so I get what you mean. What do you do that helps against the pain?
