You might want to try some kind of alternative medicine - acupuncture, naturopathy - I've just about lost faith in traditional medicine. I've had some good results from non-mainstream "doctors", and at least you feel like SOMETHING is getting accomplished besides just sitting around waiting to get worse so some M.D. can sign off on an official diagnosis of something.
Sorry if I'm not making sense, I'm on pain meds from the "regular doctor" who is seemingly trying to kill me right now.

Thank you, msarkie. My primary care provider currently is trying Cymbalta. It has actually helped my migraines some, my anxiety, and seems to be helping my muscle pain a little so far.
I refuse to take pain pills, they never work for me and only serve to cause my migraines to rebound, so why bother. I have tried a few alternative medicine avenues (Chiropractic, massage, accupressure) none worked and massage and accupressure were the methods I thought were going to kill me, they were extremely painful for me. If Cymbalta doesn't work or I build a tolerance to it, then we will try another, but my PCP knows how I feel about pain pills. We have worked together in the past as professionals (I was a pharmacy technician) and he understands that I have multiple drug allergies as well, we have to be careful. |
