4/20 for MS & Chronic Illness/Conditions: How has it or CBD helped you?

It helps me sleep, with my kicking, cramping legs, and anxiety.

Dedicated to my dear, late friend Marcia, who got hooked on opioids trying to escape MS-related pain.

Isolation from disability and disease

I am medically disabled and unable to work. I have found that the longer I am home, the more isolated I get. I have tried to volunteer, but frequently have to cancel due to one symptom or another. How do others in a similar situation deal with this issue? Any tips, ideas, or suggestions? #multiple Sclerosis #chronicpancreatits #Diabetes #Pain #Isolation

Pain #Pain #MentalHealth #Depression #Insomnia #Arthritis

I have developed a nasty case of arthritis in my hands. I am starting to discover things that will make it worse, such as cold temperatures. I now sleep with gloves on and wear insulated gloves when I am in commercial cool rooms.

The pain is having a big impact on my ability to sleep. I am on some fairly strong pain medication when I need it but it does not helping much.

Does anyone have any wisdom regarding pain management or how to handle arthritis?

Thank you everyone.

What is that, ah, a ripple,
Gushing, yet round pattern,
Waves of feeling circle,
Softly, like whispers, scatter

Unpacking

I just realized that what makes me move... is anger. It motivates me somehow.

In need for opinions and advice from others with fibro#Fibro #Pain #finrowarriors

Hello all, I need some opinion and advice. My fibromyalgia symptoms have been getting worse. I’m unsure as to why, but I’m concerned that I need to take action, I just don’t know how, seeing that my PCP monitors my fibromyalgia, but I don’t think he takes it as serious as he should. Do I see a pain specialist? Or a doctor in a different field?
Also, does anybody find themselves easily crying no reason or feel highly sensitive? If so, why is this? Thank you all for your help with everything, these forums are all I have for support. I am always here to talk with anyone if they need to! 😊
