Re: AidPlan?

I took a risk and tried it. It helped! I'm not "cured" but for me it was like a good guide. It helped me get more mobile, reduced pain by about ...30%? There is no real communication or contact and that was really disappointing. I just had a couple of simple questions but I got nothing. It...

Re: Just spent about $1600 on a Salli stool

Omg!! Wow! I have been fantasizing about buying this chair for about a year!! I'm so happy to hear that it works for you. I've used a plastic posture seat - a "Sitsmart" by Backjoy." Lightweight, easy to carry around so I always have a hard seat that allows me to sit on my sits bones....

Re: A little helper for sitting - Stimulite Cushion

Thanks for the suggestion. I would never have thought of this. It's pricey but I'm putting it on my list.

Re: Vaginal thrush cause of PN?

My PN began after 6mos of back to back yeast infections following a pretty straightforward partial hysterectomy. Even my gyn was mystified at why it kept coming back. Maybe it has to do w the hysterectomy, but my gyn (obviously) carefully investigated that... It's impossible to know & who'd want...

Re: anti seizure meds

Dear All. This is a belated reply but I want to post in case anyone else is struggling w anticonvulsant. Keppra was the medication that gave me a similar experience. Emotional side effects were absolutely frightful. Hair trigger temper but also a wee bit of pain improvement. Changed dosage & sid...

Belly hurts from reclining & now laying down

I'm about to lose my cool. I've had PN for about 7yrs. It has derailed my life so to thoroughly that I stopped counting. For years I used a reclining work station. It didn't take the pain away but it extended my ability to endure. However, after a few years, I could not tolerate it bc it caused uppe...

Re: Marijuana!!

My experience with MMJ hasn't been as successful wrt true pain reduction, BUT I still recommend cannabis use--yes, WITH THC. It doesn't heal, but it's nice to relax if your pain is constant. I've always been AGAINST recreational drug *and* alcohol use, but the difference this has made for me has bee...

Re: Stress and PN flare ups

I think some people are prone to physical response to stress. Stress changes your physiological state, just as "too much activity" might do. I have had neuro type pain all my adult life and it always gets worse with stress. PN has been so overwhelming these past five years, I can barely di...

Re: Just saying hello..

Hi, Tara. I just posted a few minutes ago after a few years away. I've had PN for 5 years. Your journey sounds so familiar. I'm amazed. I too am reaching out. Life is too hard to do on your own. Although I know I'm loved by friends and family, there seems to necessarily be an aloneness in debilitati...
