Hi Everyone,

I thought I would start here by introducing myself. Long-time lurker who is interested in many areas of this forum, but especially interested in all that has to do with pain management. I am an older woman who has changed her views through the years, from conservative to quite liberal when it comes to drug use and making our own, adult decisions. I believe the drugs should be legalized, and at the very least decriminalized.

I am interested in learning more from all of you and joining in on some interesting conversations.

That is really about it. I lead a fairly boring life, lol, so I enjoy all my online interactions.

I look forward to my time here with all of you.
 
Nice to meet you!

Hey there! I'm a new user too. Nice to e-meet you. I'm Odette, what do you like to go by? I'm also a sufferer of pain and looking for better ways of handling my pain management myself. What ailments do you suffer from and what are you currently using as treatment?
 
Thank you!

I would also like to meet others from Minneapolis, because I am a recluse, especially in the winter, so it would be fun to meet others to find me a reason to get out of the house, lol!

I appreciate the welcome! :)
 
Hi Odette,

Nice to meet you.

I will just go by my username for now, I guess. Not the most creative, but.....lol. I hate to go into my ailments at this time, but maybe someday. I do suffer from migraine, chronic daily head pain, and chronic daily pain from another condition. Pain sucks and really wears a person down. My treatment varies, but nothing seems to help. I have tried a million meds and procedures, and I am basically on maintenance with pain meds, but I break through all the time. I have fewer and fewer good days, but I really push myself by reminding myself that "life is for the living." Just doing the best that I can.

What about you?
 
Hi Again! I have reading here, for a couple of year, about poppy seeds and pods. I am wondering if the poppy seed tea works for someone with an already high tolerance. Also, I saw that GFS was recommended, but I don't have a store near me. Anywhere online that these can be ordered (quality?). I would really like to try this, because I cannot find anything to help control my pain and make me feel good for a little while, even. I hope it is okay that I posted this here. :)
 
hay Ma! hope you learn about your pain, I know How it goes. Im a Chronic Pain patient myself, and questions, dont hesitate to shoot myself or a mod staffer a PM, I am good at listening and helping with coping. :)

Yall got LOVE coming from CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thank you, my dear! I really do appreciate the welcome and the kind words. "Ma" cracks me up, because with three sons, and their friends, that was my name for many years, lol.
