Hi group I need to find a good doctor. I have lost all trust in the medical field. I am Kathryn and live in Alabama. I have a PHD in forensic Science and a PHD in pathology. I miss work bad. I am a double amputee after 98 surgeries. I have Lupus and I know it came from years of nasty medication I took for years. I was in a car accident, I shattered both legs up to me hips, my right wrist that still have pins and plate broke my neck, and lower back has a plate, and a few ribs. Lucky I am here. But pain has took a tool on my life. I have good days Today I feel descent. I was taking Lyrica but stop taking it WOW what a nightmare. I have a God daughter I adopted over 3years ago. I have had her since she was 11 months old. She has kept my pain at bay. I need her more than I knew. I wish you all the best. I took advice from here on CBD oil and it works. Any more advice sure could use...

Welcome @lillelillee !
I do not have any experience to share with you regarding CBD and I am afraid I don't have any advice at all.
I just want to welcome you and tell you how badly I feel for all that you have gone through.
I may not have advice, but I have a good ear anytime you want it.
FYI...there is a group for those who have taken anti-anxiety and/or anti-depression meds. It is also a great group with lots of experiences. You might want to check out the group.

Have a great weekend...
Ronnie (GRANDMAr)

@lilee This might sound strange, but "talk" to your pain. Just like you would to another person. This pain is with you 24/7. You want to understand it, but you want to have the upper hand, not the other way around. Ask what would be a most comfortable position or activity. Tell your pain you value its presence as it lets you know you've perhaps done too much on a certain day, but you need to be able to live fully, and be there for your goddaughter. Talk to it as a friend, an ally, and you may be pleasantly surprised to find your pain lessons and your attitude changes for the better I might add!
