Numerous Pain issues

Posted by dayna73 @dayna73, Jun 16 6:23pm

Over my lifetime so far of 51 yrs and lately over the past 1 1/2 yrs, I’ve been diagnosed with migraines (at 10 yrs), hemangioma that calcified, but still causing pain, fibromyalgia, RA, left lower lobe of my lung is collapsed from pneumonia is 2003, I have a “slipped” disc in my thoracic spine right before the lumbar spine starts, my lumbar spine has many fractures throughout, I have stage 3 kidney failure being monitored. I have Hoshimotos disease causing hypothyroidism, I have an impacted, nonfunctional gallbladder, IBS with both constipation and diarrhea, I have a MVP which causes palpitations often, and lastly I have an unknown blood disorder where my body/bone does not produce enough red blood cells. I am currently prescribed magnesium, iron, b complex, vitD 5000, Cymbalta 120mg, Wellbutrin 150mg, hydrochloridthyozide with losartan 25/20, levothyroxine 25mg, and only 900mg of gabapentin along with 7.5mg of Norco 3 times per day. I am still in a lot of pain every day that some days I can’t walk or other days just too depressed to do anything.
Any advise on what to do?

yes!!! God walks with me as well- could NOT do it without Him! had lupus flare that caused my knee and surrounding area to swell baseball size. hurt terribly all the time, and more when I had to walk. couldn't hardly get off commode. (having grab bar installed.) God healed me of it-leg and knee much, much better! on a daily basis, I try my very best to switch my focus to something else. like working on something I enjoy and CAN do. I'm starting to bird watch and learn bird songs. bought bird watching book and binoculars. have recordings o bird songs and chirping. I can no longer jog, but this new hobby I CAN do. I seek out anything that will make me laugh. crazy cat videos on pineterest, and my friend with ra and the best attitude and sense of humor, EVER! never thought I'd text, but figured out how to get set up on pH, with voice to text typing. (have ra and lupus so typing an issue.) I enjoy texting friends and family. sent my niece a "fart emoji", wishing her a "fart-tastic" day. made us both laugh. medicinal...I also make lists of positive and good things in my life to shift my focus, even if only temporarily. and I cont to praise God thru it all.
