Hi Reddit, I realize this subreddit isn't "a substitute for real legal or medical help", but I don't know what else to do. Since the week before Christmas, 2010 I have had a harrowing itch all over my entire body. Not just "I'm itchy" but the kind of itch where I've considered going to the hospita

First and foremost, I like this movie a lot, easily an 8/10 for me. To me it's an interesting mesh of occult/cult horror present in *Hereditary* and *The Void* (Aaron Poole also stars in this film) and an investigation aspect found in films like *A Cure For Wellness* (also a long film). I feel I can
I thought I'd share my experience in case it could be helpful to anyone else. I've had migraines for over 20 years. They were manageable (avg. 6 migraines/month) until about a year and a half ago, when they became progressively more frequent. I tried acupuncture and changes to my diet, to no avai
Take 10mg doxepin for sleep + 100mg twice per day tramadol for an acute injury. Then because you are feeling weirdly sad, throw in some st john's wort because your relative swears by it. Then you start feeling even more sad and can't sleep so add 50mg of benadryl. I had taken each of these separatel
Does anyone have a compounding recipe for Doxepin 0.5% mouth rinse? I believe you have to include polysorbate 80 and a suspending agent. Please help?

I need to feel like I’m not crazy. I was diagnosed with fibro about two years ago. Underwent quite a few tests including an EMG to rule out other things. Currently taking gabapentin to help symptoms. But along with the pain I get so many muscle twitches. Kind of like when you get that really annoyi
Today my boyfriend of a year told me he doesn’t think I should be taking my opioid pain medication any longer. I have had chronic pain for 18 years, have tried every single thing I could think of, that was recommended to me, have had multiple surgeries, and ended up with CRPS in my right hip/thigh.
I'm going to share my story and what I've found does work and doesn't work for me. Feel free to ask questions. And feel free to comment with your own journey. I was diagnosed at 23. I went to Disney world and on the second day I woke up and couldn't walk. I was in so much pain. My legs and feet wer
And the only fibromyalgia drug in existence as far as any of them know is gabapentin, but gabapentin makes it so you can't feel your clitoris.
I had my monthly appointment with my PM doc this morning. I brought up the new drug that has just been approved by the FDA and wanted to get his thoughts on it. He said and I am quoting him pretty detailed here; The drug has only been approved by the FDA for acute pain only, as in post surgical pa
I work in a pharmacy, which is honestly an awful environment if you have chronic pain and fatigue because I'm absolutely killed after every shift, but honestly it's the attitudes of my coworkers that really cut deep.

I was hit by a fckn truck. I’m being as positive as I can be. She went on to say that she got better from her accident using positive thoughts and yoga. I wish I could do yoga.
