I see what your saying about weighing out the pros and cons, like me not favoring chronic pain medications, but at the same time my BRAIN never gets to rest and feel normal again, even for a little while. Plus anxiety from not feeling well in over 5 years is bad because it breeds STRESS, which I believe is one of the worst things for the human body and psyche.

So, It's either go on a regiment of something that the safest, but what's considered the SAFEST medication for the type of chronic pain I have?

When one of my doctors tried to give me (forgive spelling) Neurontin, I said forget it, I could care less if it has an innate ability to "possibly" block chronic pain...it's freaking seizure medication, I DO NOT want to be bothered with that stuff, forget it.

Cymbalta? I say no. Lyrica? Not a chance. Ketamine? Never in a million years.

Maybe chronic pain medications are a waste of time for a person with my mindset.

A jacuzzi that stays a consistent 92 degrees, with of course under water exercises along with that is a good idea but costly aside from regular maintenance, especially one big enough that I can take if I ever move.

Do you have any suggestions maybe on the holistic side of things?

Aside from aquatic therapy, I did a complete course of group hypnosis, but I find that because my misfiring pain signals hurt so bad and in different ways, fighting it makes me tired, I wind up foregoing self hypnosis like I was taught, and falling asleep instead which is quicker if my pain is at that level.

Eager to hear yours and ANYBODY'S opinions.
