I don't know how you manage to do all those chores! They would tire anybody out. Have you ever seen a psychiatrist, in light of the drugs you are taking? I have a psychiatrist and take Elavil (a tricyclic) for OCD. I'm quite sure that the drug, which is calming and which I take every night, is helpful for the pain. I am also given a benzo to take if I get stuck in the middle of the night and can't sleep. I don't take it regularly and keep a record so if I find I've taken it for 2 weeks straight, I make myself take a holiday since it is addictive. Usually that's not necessary since I have nights when I sleep straight through. I am familiar with klonopin but know nothing about vistaril. Are you taking something for the oral cancer on top of all the rest? I'm taking daily vitamin K2 plus 2000 IU of D for bones. Daily yogurt is also supposed to help bones. I'm 75 and light boned. I hope that works but I need to get a DEXA scan soon to find out.
BEST OF LUCK and keep in touch. Hot weather really sucks, doesn't it?

I do see a psych and a social worker as I am bi polar schizophrenic. Klonopin is a Benzo. Calms me. The vistaril is an antihistamine and anti inflammatory. I refuse to take any of those RA drugs! Nope.. I’ll hon with the what the rheumatologist says and if he’s correct all my organs will soon be affected and within 10 years I’ll be dead. He’s so blunt. At first , and by 3 other docs I was told it was all in my head, lonely housewives disease??!!, and fibromyalgia. I have a host of mental illnesses going on from childhood abuse ( of all kinds in every way and no way out) so I’m hoping to die. I’m f———— tired! ( excuse my French) but it’s frustrating

@migizii I recently added K2 and a small amount of Boron to help with my arthritis and osteoporosis (and hopefully some of my daily pain), in addition to calcium and vit D. I’m also slight build and hoping this will help. @parrotqueen has many useful natural remedies to help in this area.
