I take a ton of Medicine. No narcotics because Our Government thinks We don't need them and We do.

I have AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and I try to always keep my meds on time with some of them I use an app to remind me of the times. I also just try to live every day looking forward to not having pain instead of having a fear for when the pain comes I try to anticipate it. Also, mindfulness is helpful as well as can meditation but they both take time to do and learn. I wish you luck in your treatments and journey for your chronic pain.

I think it is necessary to think positively as much as possible and if possible exercise

I have intractable pain, renal disease, neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, cervical stenosis, and spondylosis. I take Oxycontin to help with the pain. I do cervical and lumbar stretches and exercises. I have a nerve stimulator implant. I was in a pain clinic In 1983. Learned biofeedback and relaxation techniques. I try to stay active. Listen to music.

@bullington74 I've stopped taking almost all my prescriptions. Lots a good bit of weight! Still in pain though. Lots of problems. Sigh. Glad this life is temporary!

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
