I’m new here!

Hi, my name is chronicallynatasha! I'm here because I have fibromyalgia, occipital Neuralgia and arthritis. I sometimes struggle feeling alone and like no one really understands how I feel. I'm hoping to make some connections with people going through the same things as me.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is SleepyHope23. I'm here because I am in constant pain from occipital neuralgia in my head and also cannot sleep after 4 hours with medication so I wake up at 1:30 to 2:30 and cannot fall back asleep and have been doing this for 4 years. I cannot take it anymore. My husband is in a facility with dementia and I am her alone with my dog trying to sell this house and get everything together. I am going crazy and feel that my life is over . I have tried everything and spent a fortune on alternative therapies as well and cannot get rid of this pain Nothing works. Please pray for me...Thank you. .Hope

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Slappy. I'm here because I have Fibromyalgia, chronic occipital neuralgia, spondylitis, myofascial pain and the laundry list of symptoms that go with all of that. I’m now in the throes with bacterial pneumonia, going on month three.
I have a younger adult daughter who got diagnosed at 20 with autism and suffers from chronic pain with TMJD and sinus issues.
Despite numerous medical treatments for the both of us, chronic pain is ruining our lives. Neither of us work but would love to have the ability to at least work from home. Places of business could not accommodate the needs we have, nor the comfort.

Working with chronic daily head pain

Hi all,
This is my first post and I’m hoping ye can share your experience of work whilst having OCcipital Neuralgia with some other complications. Differential diagnosis of cervicogenic headache.
Ive had daily head pain since June ‘21. Never suffered from head pain before. Diagnosis and meds keep changing. Also have daily migraine, fatigue and motion sickness. The only treatment that has worked are GON blocks but this only lasts 5 weeks.
Tried Botox with no success.
I’ve been out of work since October and beginning to think this may become permanent.
Seven years till retirement age.
Work from home for a call centre with excellent pay and conditions so hard to walk away.
Anyone have advice about how they have successfully returned to work with chronic head pain and fatigue?
Thanks everyone.
