My body doesn't accept lots of medicines that are used for pain and therefore, there are days when I just want to cry, scream, have a hissy fit or just completely give up, you know?π€
I have many days when i feel like this as i am allergic to many pain meds etc. it is hard to work up the energy to do anything besides feel the pain some days isnt it?
I have found for myself that music works for me, now i'm not trying to be weird but I found Kpop a few years ago when my pain and depression were at their worst, and I have a list of songs by various groups and idols that take my mind off the worst of my pains, i have songs and youtube content that they provide that i watch on my low mood days and it never fails to make me laugh and feel happier. I know it's not everyone choice but it has definitely worked for me and my wellbeing.
I am no longer able to tolerate medications so I know how you feel. After lots of research and help from a pain clinic I am managing my pain in various natural ways like using the pain science techniques, mindfulness, exercise, diaphragmatic breathing and I find cold showers very helpful. It's not easy and you need a lot of determination, some days are still very bad when I feel the same as you. π€
I've tried lyrica and cymbalta and to be honest none of them worked for me. I feel where you coming from but there are other ways to control the fibro flare ups. You can try CBD oil or cannabis if anything ask your doctor to see where you can get a medical marijuana card if its not legal where your from. Good luck with everything and don't give up. I wish you the bestπ€
Yes i do many days
I know how you feel. I am a senior citizen (age 79), so old age coupled with fibromyalgia and all it's symptoms is really hard to deal with. Like you, I turn to music, but mine is Christian music .....I used to play piano for my church services, but this fibro has made it so I can't even do that anymore. I love to crochet, so same problem. I have so much pain in my fingers, hands, arms and shoulders that even typing causes some pain....I just want it to stop, you know?
