I wish something simple like Gabapentin worked for me! It messed with my cognition. All 5 of my siblings have settled on Gabapentin, but for some reason I had to be different.

Have you found things that give you temporary relief? It sometimes makes a difference if we can get a break from the pain, even for a short time. I know too well how chronic pain affects mental health. It's a vicious circle for me with pain and depression. I'm thankful for a therapist I can talk to every other week, and for doctors who understand and are willing to work with me. We can't do this on our own.
