Pain - How Do You Manage Yours?

By Shared
Our 'brother' site FibroMen is conducting a survey on pain treatment and management and they'd love to hear your views:

​What works for you, what doesn't work and what made you worse?

I've had years and years of different medications and treatments, a lot of them absolutely useless, a lot of them with side effects far worse than the pain they're meant to treat. Have you had a similar journey?

​To go to the survey follow this link FibroMen Pain Survey - and then come back and comment here.

The everyday, hum-drum 'normal' daily activities of life have conspired to keep my power levels at a steady zero. No amount of rest - and believe me, I've had plenty of that, - has worked to reduce my exhaustion and I've been going to bed exhausted and waking exhausted. No recovery. Not one jot. I think I need to replace my battery or, better still, replace my whole body with a new model!  I long for the days when I had that model of body that could do everything all day - work full time, drive at 8am for 28 miles to the office, sit in meeting after meeting, drive 28 miles home at 5pm then take the family out for a meal, or go shopping fo
