I'm allergic to ibuprofen and all nsaids so I can only take Tylenol and it does not touch my pain at times I do take it to dull the pain but really nothing works so I have given up on anything helping my pain 😪

Yes I feel the so used to the pain thing. It sucks 😥

I get kidney infections and stones like a common cold [before covid]. I'm so used to the flank pain now my parents can't figure out how I can just function normally like nothings wrong. being "numb" to pain is awful so I get it.

YES. I use alternative medicine. I rso and thc to get of meds. Then got a rare movement disorder still hate pills

Omg yes, sometimes i try to get through 24 hours w/o the meds but i only end up with a migraine and walking Bent over because of the body pain and in bed for most of the day or all day.

Today is a hydrocodone can’t touch the pain day.

It sucks! The first time my doctor prescribed an addictive medication, I was more afraid that it would work than if it didn't. It almost feels like the same concept as cosmic horror, like you get a taste of something unreachable.

YES. I weaned of all my prescription pills to use alternative medicine. But now since diagnosed and it's spread I've lost functional quality of life and disabled, low income I had to get back on pain meds to keep on weight, chew ect. All my Dr's won't give me anxiety meds back, even though it's a treatment for dystonia. Instead they say get dbs. So I'm going for deep brain surgery. Honestly I HATE pills! Zofran caused this hell dystonia 😆 🤣
