I'm interested in hearing what other people do for their pain when they can't get opioids?
I deal with chronic muscle pain, all over my body. I assume it's from depression or undiagnosed fibromyalgia or something.
I tell doctors I'm in constant pain all over my body and of course they just sit there with that "Oh well that sucks" look on their face.
I had mono as a pre-teen, which I have since learned is the Epstein-barr virus & it never leaves your body. It apparently can "come out" and "attack" your body later in life and causes issues like I'm having now. Although I have no idea if it's related.
To put into perspective. I'm sure many have done a good work out and been sore the next day a bit. I feel this way, except I feel this way even without exercise. And it's been a daily thing for almost 2-3 years now.
Ontop of it I've had a fucked up back for almost 2 weeks and now I have a swollen and inflamed tonsil.
I have a tolerance to buprenorphine & gabapentin, so these don't really do anything for pain anymore, although I'm dependent on them, so I have to take them or it just feels worse.
Kratom doesn't work, because I assume my buprenorphine tolerance prohibits any effects from it.
Already tried NSAIDs, dextromethorphan, myrhh oil (which I like, but is expensive as fuck), muscle relaxers, benzos, capsacin, poppy seed tea (although I haven't had good seeds in awhile) etc....
Stil nothing. And feeling this way is not good for my mood or quality of life, but of course I can't count on our lovely doctors and health care system to do anything about it, especially since I have "addiction" on my record now.
I've even felt like fucking with loperamide out of desperation, which I know how risky and dangerous it is and is unlikely to get and stay across the blood brain barrier anyway.
No access to illicit opioids. And even then, having to break the law to get relief truly pisses me off.
Already at the max dosage of bupe. And I assume taking even more will not do shit, as most of your receptors are covered by this point anyway. In fact, when I've tried higher doses, it actually seems to make me feel like I'm in withdrawal.
Methadone is not a viable option either, as I can't go to a clinic every day and it would most likely require giving up my benzos and gabapentin, which I'm also dependent on.
I'm curious if any one else has a similar experience or what you have found to help you. It's truly ridiculous.
