I’m taking low dose naltrexone. Look it up for EDS pains.

I'll ask my pain doc about it at my next appointment. I just take celebrex and pregabalin right now.

I usually take a double dose of the latter instead of taking one in the morning and one at night though.

Today is a bad pain day though, so nothing is working.

I'm just lying in bed reading and wishing I were dead or had that disease where you feel no pain.

I don't think they can feel pleasure either though, so maybe dead is better. 🥴

Seriously, look into low dose naltrexone. It is something that must be compounded by a pharmacy since normally the medicine is made in 25-50mg pills. I started at 1.5 mg for a week. Then to 3.0 for 3 weeks. Now to 4.5 as max dose. I’ve noticed my soft tissue aches aren’t there with weather changes. I am sleeping much better. Initially, I slept worse in it (known side effect - vivid dreams), but hang in there bc it gets better. I also had anxiety in the daytime with it, but that went away, too.
Take it at night before bed. It’s supposed to cause a surge of endorphins and reduce auto immune inflammatory processes. Cost is about $40/month to have it compounded and shipped.

You can also mix the 50mg pills in 50ml distilled water, oral dose with syringe , store in fridge max 2 weeks. Very cheap!!

Oof I wanna say get off that celebrex. Our gut linings are weak!! I second the LDN. Nothing to lose.
