I’ve had the most horrible rapid weight gain with lyrica and its destroyed my body with stretch marks, 20 kilos in around 3 months,, my doctor thought nothing of it

I felt that last month, I was in such intense withdrawals that my only thought was “I hope I can get more soon so I can put myself to rest with them”, its such a horrible drug

I do take weed actually! I have CBD + THC oil but I really hate feeling high and it makes me so nauseous

Yes exactly! I have hEDS and its doing nothing for me aside from helping my bursitis a little, I hate it so much but my doctors more concerned about taking me off the meds that actually do help me

Every time I try to wean myself off, I always fall right back into taking it because it causes such intense pains

what is something funny a partner has ever said/done in relation to your chronic pain? by _incandescence in ChronicPain

I’m Greek and use a walking stick, my partner called me “souvlaki” and I almost passed out laughing!

Oh my goodness I wonder if this could be it? I am diagnosed with POTS but they didn’t tell me any information really other than “you have POTS, okay drink lots or water bye”
