Good morning. I'm 65. Postpartum depression at age 31 with loss of thyroid function
Lumbar stenosis with fusion L4L5S1S2 in 2016. Have been on Cymbalta 90mg per day for 25 years. During a medication change 2+ years ago experienced extreme anxiety and developed excruciating head neck and shoulder pain - no treatment helping past 1 or2 days. Finally saw my old pain clinic Dr who called me "a high functioning Fibromyalgia sufferer" in too good shape to be a pain clinic patient. Suggestions - aerobics 3x a week. Thanks
LDN - almost ready to begin 2nd month doubling of dose.
Went back to acupuncture after 15 years. 1st visit minimal relief. Last visit after a very painful needling and tearing of my scalp fascia and and brutal manual fascial release, I am 50% better still 4 days later. This is a minor breakthrough.I have been ignoring pain since at least 2008 so am still fully mobile. Tried Gabapentin 3600mg / day years ago. No relief no side effects. No medication helps the pain in any way so don't take analgesic.
Thank God for heat and cannibis. Judy 18
