Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

I am so sorry to hear about your challenges. Why is life like this? and what did you do to deserve this? No good answers to be found.

I became permanently disabled in 2006, when a doctor ran a needle into my spinal cord. That really messes you up. Nerve pain can be cruel, but you know that. That injury has caused another syndrome to developed. Basically, my sensory nerves are malfunctioning. Wow.

At one time I was taking 300 mg of morphine and 100 mcg of fentanly. I came off all the drugs at the PRC. in Rochester in 2010. I got my life back. Now, Iowa has a medical marajuana program and that's what I use to manage pain and nausha. Just had hernia surgery and got by with only advil.

I wish all of you who deal with such challenges find some small level of relief. That gives us hope, and where there is hope in tomorrow, we push on. God bless your journey.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve had Fibromyalgia since 2005 and now I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Type 2 with nerve damage and terrible pain. Today I had my second Stellate Ganglion Block to help with the nerve pain and quality of life.

I am going to a pain clinic to sign up for MN's medical marijuana program. Can you provide more detail on what MM helps you with pain? I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
