Hi,
I've been suffering with debilitating fatigue, weakness, and pain / constant brain problems (memory, fog, can't think properly) for as long as I can remember (since 8 years old) and was diagnosed with M.E. since they couldnt find what was wrong.
I'm now 20 and have been prescribed many drugs with no help at all.
I was prescribed tramadol quite recently for my pain, and it had a very unexpected change on my illness (not just the pain). When I took it, my feeling in my body of being ''Poisoned'' which I have non stop become more managable. I am no where near a well person with the tramadol but it eases my dreadful illness into a something more managable.
It helps with my fatigue / my pain, my constant poisoned feeling, it just eases the whole illness. It makes it all so much easier to bare.
I thought this might be a good place to get some advice / help. Does anyone know how this drug could effect my illness in this way? I have been taking my tramadol when feeling my worst (especially when i'm bedbound or stuck to a wheelchair) so I can cope easier because i'm worried if I take it everyday it will stop working in this way.
Is there any other medicines which would do the same?
Thanks in advance.
(Btw - I am not looking for medical advice, basically just how tramadol could effect me like this (what do you think its upping/changing?) and what other medicine do this, thank you.)
