  • Yup. I use THC, CBD, and CBG everyday. Trust me, I don’t want any of this. But I wouldn’t be able to hold a job and be bed ridden without them and as per my neurologist and rheumatologist there isn’t any sign that my pain will change for years to come. It’s also different when you take them for chronic pain than recreationally. I don’t get high off them, I just get pain relief. It’s hard to get a high when you’re in constant debilitating pain



  • Meh. First Christmas since my full chronic pain has hit and knowing it’s not going away and the issues that arise with it. On the upside, I met with a new pain management doctor today and he actually cared for me. He is switching me from hydrocodone to oxycodone and told me that he is willing to up my dose a lot in the next few months because he doesn’t want to see a 26 year old be stuck in his apartment for another year due to pain. So that was a light in a very dark tunnel. As happy as I can be at the moment but my happiness is limited. One of those I’ll believe he will help me as much as he says when I see it the next few months. But, the switch is very hopeful in itself. Hopefully next Christmas I’ll be able to go on walks longer than one mile without having to deal with the miserable consequences under his pain regimen.




















  • Hello! I was wondering if you’d all be willing to partner with /c/ChronicPain?

    I see you are partnered with Mental Health as am I on ChronicPain. I believe that pain, especially when it’s chronic goes hand in hand with mental health and it’s something that is unfortunately near and dear to me. I want to make sure that anyone who is experiencing chronic pain knows they have a support group where they are allowed to post, comment, or lurk. My most recent post on it from today is about issues I’m currently dealing with that is directly caused from my chronic pain and awaiting diagnoses. I know there’s so many out there who could benefit from knowing this exists. There is not one single part of having a chronic illness and pain that is simple

    Sorry for the essay, just wanted to get across how important I think this community is
