I'm curious if any others have frequent bad dreams and/or nightmares? I have them a lot. And any type of pain that is inflicted on me in the dreams I feel. I always thought that you weren't supposed...
Tired Mama, When I worked, my boss worked with me and suggested I start with short term disability while I saw doctors to find out what was wrong with me. So, I did this through our HR Dept. Then it...
Hi, I'm new and thought I would also check-in, too. I hope that is alright. My weekend was not so hot. We had a change in the weather and I guess it kicked my pain level up. So I spent the weekend in...

I'm so sorry to read all of your stories. I grew up in the south and sweet tea is still a staple. But I only drink Sprite now. If I drink anything else, including water, I get so nauseous or my...
So frustration and not a thing we can do about it. I have a lot of gumline cavities. Do you have those, David? I have always had such great teeth. I never thought I would find myself in this...
I have so many different dx I just don't know for certain where to post. This whole forum thing is new to me. I just know today was and is an extremely high level pain day. I've cried and...
Yes, IBD does stand for Irritable Bowel Disease....
I also took great care of my teeth. Now they chip and break off. I find myself eating softer foods because I'm afraid one will break. Ive had so many root canals and just recently had to have a tooth...
Ive been in that position more than once. We live in a rural area. So no 24/hours here. I'm at the point where I'm counting my breakthrough meds now. The weather, I guess, has my pain level up and...
My goodness you've been here a long time. Bless your heart. I'm not used to telling my story or talking about my dx to anyone but my husband and doctor. So it feels sort of strange to me. Hopefully,...

That does make perfect sense. You would think that I would have come up with that on my own :) I have an appt. with my chronic pain mgmt doctor on 9/30. I will address this with him at that time....
Thank you all so much. Just reading so many welcoming messages from others who also suffer from pain, has brought tears to my eyes. Of course, I seem to do a lot of that lately. I get so, so tired of...
