Hey there, @Terrydka71!
That sounds really tough, it must take a lot out of you both physically and mentally. ๐
Do you notice any particular triggers that seem to make it worse lately? And when it gets that intense, is there something (a position, medication, distraction, or even a small comfort) that brings you a bit of relief?

7 until I stood and cooked dinner and it was about 8 or 9. I hate cooking anymore because I canโt stand long at the stove to cook. Iโve even put a back support brace on to help some and have had to take pain. As soon as Iโm done eating Iโm in recliner for a couple hours before doing dishes

@Lmg21532 Hey there, that sounds really tough and frustratingโฆ Have you tried using any kitchen aids, like a high stool or anti-fatigue mat, to take some pressure off while standing? Or do you find that resting in between tasks helps more than pushing through all at once? I really hope you find some relief soon.

Ambassador@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.

Living with chronic pain means that each day can feel very different. Some days are more manageable, while others are harder. Today, we invite you to share your current pain level on a scale from 1 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible).
This thread is a simple way to check in with yourself and see how others are feeling ๐ Sharing can help you feel less alone and offer ideas for coping with difficult days.
Take care,
Somya from the Carenity Team ๐ฟ
