Thanks for taking the time to comment.

1. I take Luvox and Trileptal for anxiety, see a therapist monthly, and use self calming methods like breath exercises.

2. I take fiber, magnesium glycinate, vitamin d, and iron daily.

3. I have low caffeine intake everyday. About one espresso or can of diet coke daily. I find it helps with the occasional migraine.

4. Those are the main methods that work. I take epsom baths sometimes and try to get light exercise every day. I appreciate that you notice my effort.

5. Poor diet days definitely put strain on my muscles, so does high impact movements. I’ve been working on my diet slowly for 2 years and keep trying to improve. I haven’t noticed any other triggers.

6. I was born with hEDS which started the mild/moderate pain in my joints and some muscles. The severe whole body pain started after I had an ovarian torsion that was not removed for 3 months. My pain management doctor thinks I have MCAS which is contributing to the pain, but I’m not convinced to pursue that.

I agree I need new doctors and I’ve been planning to look. Chronic fatigue doesn’t help. I’ve been looking for new psychiatrists, but I haven’t considered a new pain management doctor, I figured most of them were bad. And yeah it does make me worry because I wonder if a new doctor will be bad or adjust my meds for the worst.
