what pain bugs you most?? (how to, strange, check)

[Gone-2-Beach]

The pains associated with chemotherapy.

[TN Tin Man]

I have Psoriatic Arthritis.... I've just come to live with the pain... nothing works for relief.

[Sudcaro]

Migraine, back ache... I have quite a few actually...

That is almost the way I am with the Fibromyalgia, and arthritis.

[Little Mizz Pittsburgh]

Neck, shoulder, and upper back pain bugs me the most, and unfortunately, this is what I suffer from, the most, day to day.

[Mr. Mysterious]

Headaches,

Once I get a headache, I just don't want to do anything anymore, and go to sleep.

I can withstand any pains like sprained ankle, broken arm, stiff joints, back pain, sore feet, and still do stuffs around house (Maybe, due to my athleticism in a young age). Once my head hurts, I'll just go straight to bed or just leave early from work.

Then I have this newfound pain, ARTHRITIS, what is this pain? Oh we'll, I'll just sit in the couch and watch t.v., or browse the internetz

[sbbet]

That said. Emily Dickinson says it best:

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there was
A time when it was not. It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.

i agree,but on some days the competition between mine is so fierce it's hard to declare a winner--i wish my three would take turns--ie---mon---legs and feet pain(neuropathy from lack of b12),tues.--back arthritis---wed--fibro arms----thurs--headache--so on--so far they sometimes all show up on the same day

Okay, I am so inclined to agree. And I am afraid my neuropaphy is not due to B 12 deficiency. I am taking regular shots, and my recent blood tests show no deficiency. My headache is constant, so I am schedualed for a CT scan on it tomorrow . (I hope they find something in my head...LOL)

This is off topic...but what are you taking for all your pain? I am taking tramadol and aceteminophen for the fibro, and Lyrica when I am really desperate. I am on Nerontin for the nerve problem. I started the nerve pills a week ago today, and the pain comes and goes. At least I have usually been pain free when I am sleeping.

being too allergic to many meds,i rely on arthritis strength tylenol,only use ultram when i have to---so many other pain meds knocked me out or made me goofier than i am--thank god i can still sleep ok

i also use foul language when the pills do not work fast enough(if others r present,i switch to swearing in italian)
