Have you tried acupuncture?
I believe it doesn't work for everyone but I think I remember a poster saying they had tried all sorts for a pain problem but nothing helped. They then had acupuncture and it was really effective.

Tried it many years ago but not recently , not a bad idea to give it another go

Yeah, you never know. If the other idea you had doesnt come off, it might be worth trying.
Don't like to think of people in pain all the time, wish you well.

I have just had four sessions with the pain clinic and followed their instructions and physio to the letter but have got even worse , the fibro has extended and i am resigned to this being the new even worse normal. Been 8/9 months now . Mri of hip and xray was normal and msk agree it is the fibro getting worse . I cant walk so i am getting really down .I am on a ton of painkillers but feel i need to go up a level again . The dr might not agree of course

It's one of those illnesses that people can't see, but you can feel! That's sometimes that worst part...apart from the physical pain. I hope you can find a way that helps.

I’ve got the all clear, gang. Life starts again tomorrow.

I wanted to get healthy just so I could enjoy fucking myself up again!

I know I won’t! I’m mildly ashamed it was diet based and now I’ve become a committed vegetarian who never eats takeaways.

Healthy Body Healthy Mind, IMO.

I'm too old for it all now. Yeah...we enjoy getting unhealthy when we're young, but then we face the consequences later in life . Doh! All the best in your recovery, mate.
I bet when you were lying there in the hospital bed, totally bored and pissed off, you were day dreaming about going travelling and camping and so on..

I'm ok, thanks. I'm going through an OK phase. Which is still quite bad. My muscles have shrunken and easily strained now. I'm ok mentally though.
When i have these phases, I can't stop doing things. Anything. I've just caulked the bathroom. I need to chill now ;)

I love being a veggie. I feel so much cleaner inside. Dad and Grandad were claimed by bowel cancer and then the **** came after me.
