Wuli, I’m 1 of those people that react to so much, I have to take a print out sheet to attach to med forms.
Lots of health issues to boot. And this Fake Opioid Crisis has interfered in the quality of life I do have. I need both Valium at 30 mg a day and two 5 mg NORCO with Tylenol for in between. Just to be ‘fairly’ comfortable.
Bent over in grocery store today and the Gut and back screamed, Colon still in agony and the Gastro has given up trying to find any thing that works, beyond Linzess and Miralax. Gastropresis has totally paralyzed the colon. Not from taking Opioids either, as those are Rare on his orders. ER kept saying Idiopathic Colitis. Spine is a total wreck with Stenosis. To many Cortisone shots which don’t work, just the side effects.
I have great sympathy for you.
Myself, living with pain for more than a decade now, I have only my own impression of what you go through. I pray somehow and someway some greater relief will find you.
For sleep at night I practice self-hypnosis, and if need be can do it any time. Of course I cannot have a productive or happy life asleep all the time, so even though any pain relief only mitigates it, life goes on, and I have learned to be at peace with what I know I can’t change.
