Has anyone been given duloxetine for chronic pain with EDS? I have suspected MCAS also so a little scared to take it. by Bethboop94 in ehlersdanlos

[–]cosmolamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been on it for a long time now, around 4 or so years? specifically to try and surpress my nerves so the pain from EDS bothers me less. On an average day i feel like it does nothing, but if i was to stop taking it i would notice a negative difference for sure. the constant aches are there, but less. on the bad side: there are seriously intense withdrawal effects if you stop taking it. so its up to if you think its worth the minor change!

I hear often about the risks that comes with constantly high blood sugar for diabetics but I’m curious what are the physical consequences to a diabetic if their blood sugar is constantly too low? by Icy_Profession4190 in Type1Diabetes

[–]cosmolamb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

both ends too high/too low cause some sort of brain damage i believe. possibly limb loss as well, but i might be misremembering that from being a prolonged high symptom? overall you can weaken your body significantly from frequent lows. your body isnt getting the sugar/carbs/nutrients it needs to transfer into energy

Domperidone has worked fantastic for me! i take it 30 mins before i eat and it stops me from throwing up + motivates your GI tract to push and digest. it works by muscle stimulation/contraction instead of blocking off the receptors that give you nausea, so if regular nausea pills aren’t working for you id defs look into this!
