@dethsgreenhorse I've lived most of my life with acute and crippling self hatred. Getting older definitely takes the edge off, but it's still there under the surface. I'm hoping menopause will finally wipe it out.

@RadicalUrbanFeminist @dethsgreenhorse 😂I hear you, but I've also been crabbit and don't give a fuck since I first learned to stand!Magnesium? I have never found any kind of result from this at all, friend uses it and says it's great.For me there's absolutely nothing.

@HebrideanHecate @RadicalUrbanFeminist @dethsgreenhorse I love Epsom salt baths but not everyone needs magnesium!

Agreed!! Just, please be careful with NSAIDs, they are renally excreted and kidney failure sucks even worse than pain. I mean, don't be scared to use them at all, I certainly do, just keep an eye on your kidney function. @dethsgreenhorse

@FeartnTired I'm in Canada, and I don't know what the laws are like anywhere else so take this with a huge grain of salt, but I find, for myself only, that CBD works very well. I am not endorsing cannabis use for anyone else, especially in places where it is still not legal. I do know people who have tried CBD and found no relief, too, fwiw. @dethsgreenhorse

Where in Canada? I'm in Vancouver. Unfortunately CBD does nothing for me, taken by mouth or smoked. Pot does make a slight difference - mainly in anxiety though. Glad it works for you! Codeine is getting harder and harder to get here. I've heard regular tylenol with a tiny bit of codeine will soon be prescription only but meanwhile doctors are under pressure not to prescribe opiates at all. No tranquilizers either. I honestly can't understand why they are deliberately putting more people in pain because SOME people insist on ODing on fentanyl etc! Oops that sounds callous. I've read that too many pain killers can also kill one's empathy! GAH. Also there's the constipation......@GrumpyOldNurse @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse

@LaylaAlexandrovna @GrumpyOldNurse @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse CBD doesn't work for me either. And i agree with you, as someone form whom any of these things has little effect and it's desperation as opposed to anything else...when had bad pain in the past...which made me take it anyway, but we don't all react badly or the same way to thingsI read somewhere that about 30% of Norwegians are opiate resistant and wondered if coming from where I do it might explain my resistance - geneticSon seems quite resistant too and his dad also discovered same when was in hosp with very painful knee.Morphine doesn't touch me, or him either, as he discovered

@HebrideanHecate Yeah, you never know how you'll respond to a medication until you try it. Opiates, for example, fuck me the fuck up, even codeine makes me loopy. For other people, though, it works a charm. I wish there was a way to tell how a medication would effect one without having to experiment. @LaylaAlexandrovna @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse

@GrumpyOldNurse @HebrideanHecate @LaylaAlexandrovna @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse oooh I’m with you there. Morphine makes me violently ill. My Dad was the same so I wonder if there’s a genetic component.

There's an enzyme. CYP2D6 From my very limited understanding too much or not enough of it is why codeine doesn't work or makes you loopy. And it was posited some years back that they could run a test before prescribing so patients would know. But the research either died, or was killed. Perhaps someone who can science would like to read up on it. I don't science. @BarefootWitch @GrumpyOldNurse @HebrideanHecate @LaylaAlexandrovna @dethsgreenhorse

@GrumpyOldNurse @LaylaAlexandrovna @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse And believe me, when I say pain, i mean PAIN...it was terrible and did not stop for months and nothing helped.I'd have wanted to die had i to live like that for the rest of my life, it was horrific, and really frightening not having anything to alleviate it.It was acupuncture and herbalism combined which got me back up on my feet and better - although have been left with problems. But that isn't an option for people unless they can afford to pay for it.

@LaylaAlexandrovna @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse @GrumpyOldNurse Good question! Probably had Lyme, which was very extreme...but was never diagnosed, the tests being not fit for purpose, false positives and false negatives, they don't use them any more because of that...if not that then some random weird virus...and then "fibromyalgia", which is the dustbin diagnoses they seem to be giving everyone these days 🤷♀️ Feck knows but the pain was indescribable for 9 months solid 😬 seriously seriously PAINFULIt was the acu & etc which helped me get better but it left me with auto immune type issues and affected my cognitive and spatial abilities, I also think it worsened my eyesight too.

@HebrideanHecate @LaylaAlexandrovna @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse @GrumpyOldNurse I recommend everyone get tested for Lyme and Mycoplasma Pneumonia (causes massive fatigue and excruciating joint pain). I had the Mycoplasma and finally resorted to ordering antibiotics online. Totally made me feel better. The doctors have forgotten how to treat infections.

@darwi_odrade @LaylaAlexandrovna @FeartnTired @dethsgreenhorse @GrumpyOldNurse This was in my late 30s, the place here is alive with ticks and Lyme is common, and same where i come from now, the ticks were always there but not the Lyme, but by God, it sure is now, the Drs are eye popped by the amount of cases, someone from Glasgow Uni is even doing research on it.It seems to make some people very ill and others not so much.I started by feeling i had a fluey like thing and woke up in agonising pain, barely able to move 2 days later, went to GP an first thing he asked was have you had a tick bite, which i had, but no different looking to any other one i'd ever had.Gave me antibiotics, which did make me feel better but by the end of the week i was in agony and in bed again.Was taken to hospital and they did the blood test and said it was negative.But they don't use them any more, because of how ineffective they are.
