Re: not coping

Ive already taken 3 doses today. Cant take anymore for another 2 hrs yet. Its just a flareup usually lasts a few days though. Normal pain relief doesnt help though. Part of why i have to see pain specialist to see what else i can do @Snowie

Re: not coping

Thanks @Snowie its hard when its so relentless and nothint helps. I even tried my oils today and it hasnt helped. Its like a borderline migraine but not quite a migraine (ive probably jynxed myself now and will get one!) And jaw face and neck pain. I can feel my neck is all swollen as well so i know its abit of a flare up.

How are you?

Re: not coping

Sounds painful hun @outlander I hope for your sake it doesn't turn into a migraine.

I am ok. Have been struggling today a bit. My mum has been saying a few things to me that haven't helped. Trying to avoid her. Didn't sleep well last night so will probably be in bed soon.

But tomorrow is a new day, hopefully it is a bit better.
