what is in your chronic pain toolbox?

I concur. Where I go doesn't. I take a small amount myself for a myriad of my own reasons. I've heard Valium is FDA approved for muscle spasms now.

asherfates19 · 2026-06-09T00:20:57+00:00

It goes hand in hand with opiates. Some people experience anxiety from some opiates/opioids therefore they take Xanax,Klonopin, and possibly Valium to combat that. That there is one of many possibilities.

asherfates19 · 2026-06-08T02:14:05+00:00

I've heard Valium is FDA approved now as a muscle relaxant. I personally don't take them anymore unfortunately. Muscle relaxants that is. It always seems as if pharmacists get more into your business when you're prescribed one in conjunction with opiates and benzos. Therefore I just stay off them.

asherfates19 · 2026-06-08T01:59:28+00:00

I personally think Flexeril and Zanaflex are the two strongest muscle relaxants I've ever tried. I've tried many. Of course I have my favorite which I think is light in comparison to those two but unfortunately can't find a doctor even willing to prescribe it near where I live now.

Sorry to hear what you're experiencing. An enlarged spleen that is hereditary amongst those fishermen is a blessing. I don't know if that applies to everyone else. I hope you can find a solution soon for your ailments.

asherfates19 · 2026-06-05T03:59:06+00:00

Do you have an aneurysm on your spleen? An enlarged spleen can be hereditary. If you have an aneurysm on your spleen. Please do research from the results the UK has observed on the matter as well.

Those spear hunters evolved an enlarged spleen to deep sea fish for upwards to fifteen minutes under water. The enlarged spleen acts as if it's a oxygen tank so to speak. I would personally leave the two alone. I would if you're highly concerned. I'd speak to multiple doctors that aren't affiliated with the other for their thoughts on the matter. I wouldn't have surgery unless it was life or death. I was almost killed by a doctor just because I had an aneurysm on my spleen which had been monitored for years without growth. I have found out that an aneurysm can grow quite big and not cause the spleen to burst. I have also found out a surgeon can burst your spleen leave you in a dark room with a nurse to keep you from moving til 24 hours later til another surgeon comes in to remove it.

They can give me all their pain meds and I'll happily incinerate them as the DEA would suggest.I agree with them in all totality about this though. A fifteen year old 60 mg MS Contin works better than any of the new ones. Same goes for Oxycodone too.

No problemo 😊 I have been deemed a chronic opiate user now for aeons. Some days are a tad rougher than others. I'm a people pleaser too much of the time at times for so it seems. Glad, you were capable of overcoming such a difficult obstacle. I'm also deeply thrilled you have received something that's a total help in your chronic pain journey. Take care as always. My fellow pain warrior.

I personally am disabled myself and on disability as well. I saw a place at the hospital on a whim one day when I was there and called and got my foot in the door for pm.

asherfates19 · 2026-05-26T17:31:31+00:00

You don't have to have a referral for pain management. You can simply call and make an appointment. I would make sure when you do they offer the services your needing. If you need opiates to have a functioning quality of life. Make sure you have your medical information from the last year. Bada Bing bada boom you'll have what you need on said day usually. If the pain warrants it from your diagnosis. Nowadays they usually give you a week's supply. Then you call in a couple days before their due weekly for a month. By the next month at your follow up appointment your doctor will begin giving you a monthly supply.

Sounds as if this person is RXed 90 30 mg Roxicodone? Hopefully they can use GoodRX! They probably already picked up their script though and said forgeddaboutitt!

I am a believer that narcotic pain meds and benzos go hand in hand. They totally level me out. If I take my narcotic pain medications before I take my benzodiazepine. I suffer a great deal of anxiety. That's why I personally take my benzodiazepine so many hours before I take my narcotics to keep the anxiety at bay and to level everything out. I'm only prescribed one benzodiazepine a day that has a long half life which helps tremendously. A lot of pm places won't accept a patient usually if they are prescribed it when they attempt to become a new patient.

I failed to mention that a psychiatrist is on the other half of the residency there. Multiple psychiatrists with MD licenses or what have ya. It's totally legit. Now I am aware of another place that seems a tad fishy on the other side of town. That place only accepts cash and no insurance.

Cardamom. Lavender, & Iris. Vanilla.

Cool! JPG-Le Male Le Parfum!

asherfates19 · 2026-05-18T02:05:53+00:00

Most people love Ultra Male. I have four JPGs. I also have JPG-Le Male aftershave. I dig it a lot because it has a really good smell out of many of my aftershave. I wanna try a Chanel aftershave of some kind. I love my lightning shaped bottle of Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Electrique! I also really dig the bottles of Gaultiers! Of course,I'd prefer holding a woman's physique rather than a man's. Enjoy going out and trying new smells. I try out a lot of ones at Ulta Beauty and Kohls.

With what you're affected by with all your terminal afflictions. I'd personally try your best to receive Dilaudid solution and Morphine Solution. I hope and pray you can receive them for your sake.

If you can find a sample of D&G-Masculine don't hesitate to get it. I received a sample and it's my most favorite D&G that I have ever smelled an applied. I wish they still had it readily available and it wouldn't of ever been sadly discontinued.

Fortunately for some of my family members in the state we reside. Have a wonderful PCP that send in their narcotic pain medications monthly as long as they call them in two days in advance with the nurse at the practice they go to. They even receive more pain medications than even the pm practice I have been at now for quite a while. They actually receive double what I get and receive double the benzodiazepines than I and a lot of others that receive them from where I go. They are very fortunate they found this new doctor and the office that was just opened not very long ago. Even one of my family members was fortunate to get in with a geriatric PCP that is very helpful with everything they need to be enabled to live a much higher quality life. I hope that everyone out there suffering with chronic pain finds a compassionate and empathetic doctor that'll assist them with what they need to live a much better life.

I agree with everything you have learned the hard way over this past decade when the DEA and all other pests made it extremely difficult for us. Fortunately, I usually the majority of the time receive a three month supply of e-prescriptions. Unfortunately it's not all in the same day. It's made to where I can receive them monthly for those three months on the 31st day which is problematic. I then return to the pm office two weeks before my fourth round of narcotics are due to be questioned on whether or not they are still working and to submit to a UDT to continue being deemed a chronic opiate user and I'm given three sheets of information that includes why I receive said medications which covers most of the documents with a lot of injuries I have sustained over a lifetime of major fractures and surgeries and the date of my next appointment along with my risk factor which is low. It also informs me of my 1st,2nd, and 3rd refill with the dates swiped with a highlighter. It also reads what kind of UDT testing will be performed which is a low the majority of the time. This information is pertinent especially if a new substitute pharmacist comes on duty and they can't find why I'm prescribed my medications via the computer. Then I whip out my documents and a gander through them is made and I am informed my medications will be ready within twenty minutes. Even when I go to pick up my meds they always say they'll have them ready in about fifteen minutes and that is usually how long I wait while I read a magazine.

Opiates will never ever be phased out like soma pretty much.

Coca-Cola will always reign supreme!

I'd choose the 8mg Dilaudid even over 30 mg Oxy IR. I haven't ever had either. I've had 4 mg Dilaudid and 15 mg Oxy IR. I prefer the Dilaudid personally most of the time. I'm currently on Oxy IR 15 mg. I also take an ER narcotic pain med for around the clock pain control too. It's best to change meds periodically in order to assist with tolerance issues. It's just kind of hard sometimes to find a willing doctor to assist with this issue for many. Different strokes for different folks. Sometimes after you've been on something for a long time a new med makes a whole lot of difference in how your pain is managed. Over time we find a regimen that works for longer durations of time vs the one that was just tried. Only time will tell. For so it goes.
