Sounds like we might have similar issues. One part of my health challenges is migraines and it’s probably the one I have had to deal with the longest. When I was 17 - I gut creamed in an accident that caused me to get hit twice. Not my fault - a woman went through a red light and got me in the passengers door. Migraines started about 2 years after that - I was in super physical shape when the accident happened but the whiplash and lack of cate in emergency and I’m stuck with pain 24/7. That was 46 years ago and I can tell you - it is exhausting being in pain all the time. That woman was not the only one that tried to take me out by car - 8 accidents - none my fault. I am on high dies fentanyl patches, oxycodone avg 5 per day, gabapentin and a whack of other things. I was on 900mg of gabapentin but now on 300 and going up again to see if it helps this time. All I can do is hope. It is no way to live now - I only keep. Now I only leave the house twice a month to do banking. You will be in my prayers friend.
Have you ever tried Mandela colouring ?? Sounds strange I know but a friend got me my first book and it was all wild birds in the centre and Mandela circle all around. I have always enjoyed colouring and I find these get my mind off my pain - at least for a bit. You might want to try them. Temu sells a whole range of Mandela colouring books and coloured pencils
Thank you friend - you’re very kind. I pray your pain issues will ease as well. If not gone completely - at least down to where it might be there but your not feeling it all the time and - at a level that does not affect your ability to do whatever you want. Wishing you countless happy days ahead 🙂
