Hi, my name is drsuzberg. I'm here because I’d like to share my story and perspective as a chronic pain sufferer for almost 4 decades, who also treats the condition I live with.

I've noticed ear pain when lying on either side of my body. Yes, i have what I thought was TMJ and what I thought was stiff neck from fibromyalgia. I read somewhere that the "TMJ' could cause ear pain. Could this be the MS though?

On the left side of my back. My left side of my tummy hurts so much too. I took half of a Norco maybe 20 minutes ago. I really need to get a heating pad. It'll really help me with the pain.
I need to call my doctor office to schedule an appointment for cortisone injections in my hips. He also wants to do injection in my jaw cuz I have bad TMJ and we're gonna see if it's causing the migraine.

Hi- I’m a 48 year female mother dealing with lots of health and mental health issues. My mom passed away a year ago and it sent me on a downward spiral. That along with having long term covid symptoms which caused what they think was a NSTEMI heart attack. I also have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, severe migraines, TMJ, PCOS, endometriosis, chronic fatigue and going through menopause, my body is in constant pain and doctors can’t figure it out so I’ve given up hope! My finances suck because of the world today and we are barely getting by. My job is super stressful and most days I force myself out of bed because I don’t want my son to see what’s happened to me and I’m ashamed. I did grief counseling briefly and quit because I couldn’t afford it. I now have social anxiety and when I’m not working I hide in my home. I’ve pushed most my friends and family away because I’m ashamed that I cannot cope with my feelings. Most days I wish I wasn’t here anymore but I don’t want to hurt my family. I just don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel like I’ve tried everything and nothing has helped! I do not like the person I’ve become. Am I alone?

My bank is taking money out of my account cuz it's below the minimum balance. This morning I had 30 bucks. Then I had my laundry done which costs 25. Somehow now I'm 16 in the hole. I get paid on the 28th, sometimes the 26th. I just gotta hold on.
And I've still got a bad migraine. I took a sumatriptan and a Motrin 800. It didn't help. My ex girlfriend put some CBD cream on my neck but that didn't help either. The pain started in my jaw. I gotta talk to my doctor about my TMJ.
I thought today was Thursday so I got ready for therapy and at 1210 I was like gosh he's late and I looked at the date on my phone and was just like well damn.

Hi, my name is Brandy. I am 38 years old. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 3 years ago. Although in hindsight I’ve been accumulating symptoms since I was 13. In my 20’s I knew my body was trying to tell me something was wrong. By then I was struggling with chronic migraines, anxiety, depression, TMJ, insomnia, losing major amount of weight, IBS, and plenty more were sure to come. I now have a 23, 19, and a 6 year old. All boys. And a 4 month old granddaughter. In the last 2 years I’ve lost myself in this illness. No one understands what I go through on a daily basis. The pain and the extreme fatigue. I hate having to defend myself constantly. Even to my own children. I’ve lost all of my friends. It feels like every month I get worse and worse. I don’t sleep or eat for days at a time. I can’t get out of bed for days and days at a time. Sometimes I don’t even have the energy to take a shower. Much less get up to cook meals for my family. I used to have such OCD and had so much pride in how clean I kept my home. Now I’m lucky if it gets cleaned every 2 weeks. And by clean I mean picking/straitening up. I miss my old life. Desperately. I used to be so full of life and energy. It’s like I know this illness won’t actually KILL me, but it’s slowly killing me. If that makes sense. I stumbled across this platform while scrolling on Pinterest and I’m glad I did. It felt so good to see other people who relate to me and what I’m going through. I’m hoping that joining this platform helps me cope with the life I’m left with.
