LIVING WITH CHRONIC PAIN WITH ANNA AND MAX

Month: April 2024

  • Psychatristic medications as well as chronic facial pain…as well as why are oral antibiotics the only choice

    Dear Max,

    So I have a short video here… of me in bed and a burn mark on my face due to the heating pad.. I am unfortunately a little hard to understand .. but I list the psychiatristic medicine that I still have to take despite all the other issues….

    As for why are oral antibiotics the only solution.. this pain makes it impossible to know if I actually have a sinus infection so this time I am not sure. It seems rare that I actually have a sinus infection but I suppose it’s possible this time. I do have a stuffy nose… but that’s all so that’s why I never know if it’s an infection that’s aggregating the pain…I do however have a Long history of sinus issues…. but after taking so many antibiotics in the past as well as steriods and they never work… I am skeptical…

    I suppose I will do what I always do..go to doctor on demand and try to explain the situation.. most likely I will get antibiotics again.. which my chronic constipation won’t even let me take… so it’s not really much of a solution… why aren’t iv antibiotics a solution? If I don’t need antibiotics they can do more harm than good.

    Why isn’t there a better solution 🤔 I just don’t understand it?

    So the psychiatristic medicine I take is.

    Cymbalta 30 mg. Clonapeam 1 and a half mg.. trazadone 200 mg.. Lamictal 150 mg lunesta 2mg

  • Chronic facial pain forces me to only be able to eat a few items

    Dear Max,

    So this FORCED DIET 😐 which still aggregates this pain is not much…

    I’m down to no caffeine, no sugar, as little salt as I can find… there aren’t many products out there.. so

    It’s no sugar yogurt

    Bananas oranges sugar free cookies one or two empty tortilla shells…one in a while protein shakes (but a lot of salt) for a treat. Peanut butter and sugar free jelly sandwiches that’s about it…. um also no meat at all…it’s to salty… no Italian food.. no fruit with a lot of natural sugar. No soup..

    It sucks
