How do you live with severe chronic pain?

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 DON'T DO TO MUCH FOR THE PAIN DURING THE DAY !AT NIGHT IS SOMETHING ELSE . I AM USING GLUC-CHON COMPLEX WITH MSM . I TAKE TWO TABLETS AND TWO 8 HR ARTHRITIS TYLENOL . I TAKE GABAPENTEN IN THE MORNING AND TWO IN THE EVENING . I JUSTFEEL SO TIRED ALL THE TIME . I HURT HURT ALL THE TIME MY ARMS, LEGS, . IT FEELS LIKE MY MUSCLES WERE OVER WORKED ALL THE TIME . I HAD TO STOP SOME OF MY DAILY MEDS CAUSE IT MAKES THE PROBLE WORSE .

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.

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