Hi Reddit, I realize this subreddit isn't "a substitute for real legal or medical help", but I don't know what else to do. Since the week before Christmas, 2010 I have had a harrowing itch all over my entire body. Not just "I'm itchy" but the kind of itch where I've considered going to the hospita

The engine never falls on Donnie’s house, he never spends time with Gretchen Ross, he never burns down Jim Cunninghams house. The story of the plot is real only in his mind. He experiences delusions of grandeur, persecutory delusions, and referential delusions, as well as audio-visual hallucination
First and foremost, I like this movie a lot, easily an 8/10 for me. To me it's an interesting mesh of occult/cult horror present in *Hereditary* and *The Void* (Aaron Poole also stars in this film) and an investigation aspect found in films like *A Cure For Wellness* (also a long film). I feel I can
I thought I'd share my experience in case it could be helpful to anyone else. I've had migraines for over 20 years. They were manageable (avg. 6 migraines/month) until about a year and a half ago, when they became progressively more frequent. I tried acupuncture and changes to my diet, to no avai
Take 10mg doxepin for sleep + 100mg twice per day tramadol for an acute injury. Then because you are feeling weirdly sad, throw in some st john's wort because your relative swears by it. Then you start feeling even more sad and can't sleep so add 50mg of benadryl. I had taken each of these separatel
Does anyone have a compounding recipe for Doxepin 0.5% mouth rinse? I believe you have to include polysorbate 80 and a suspending agent. Please help?

I just came across this sad story about a man suffering with pain from **bone** cancer (extremely painful!) who could only get Gabapentin for pain relief. He and his wife of 52 years jumped to their deaths holding hands. Now imagine if he had received proper pain relief! This is utterly heartbreakin

Day 5 tomorrow admitted with intractable neck pain and new evolving neuro symptoms. MRI tomorrow to see if my brain or my cervical spine are responsible for whatever is happening to me. Some unpleasant possibilities on the table like MS or my cancer coming back and I'm growing a uterus in my brain �
I need to feel like I’m not crazy. I was diagnosed with fibro about two years ago. Underwent quite a few tests including an EMG to rule out other things. Currently taking gabapentin to help symptoms. But along with the pain I get so many muscle twitches. Kind of like when you get that really annoyi
Today my boyfriend of a year told me he doesn’t think I should be taking my opioid pain medication any longer. I have had chronic pain for 18 years, have tried every single thing I could think of, that was recommended to me, have had multiple surgeries, and ended up with CRPS in my right hip/thigh.
I'm going to share my story and what I've found does work and doesn't work for me. Feel free to ask questions. And feel free to comment with your own journey. I was diagnosed at 23. I went to Disney world and on the second day I woke up and couldn't walk. I was in so much pain. My legs and feet wer
And the only fibromyalgia drug in existence as far as any of them know is gabapentin, but gabapentin makes it so you can't feel your clitoris.
