Guest guest Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I know about the fibromyalgia pain and how it can flair up and for me it brings on other pain from migraines to pain from arthritis. Driving usually relaxes me if I can make it out of the house. I have also been dealing with the scary reality of balancing pain relief and how much pain one can deal with as a cousin recently ODed on pain patches after major trauma from attempted murder. He survived the attempt on his life when a druggy friend tried to stab him and then goes home in pain. He and his brother who was also stabbed but not as bad thought the pain patches were no more than the icy hots from the over the counter row at the drugstore and put them all over. The surviving brother found his brother dead on the floor 4 days after hospital discharge. It is so tragic and so stupid. I can't help but think about him whenever I take my pain meds. a Sent from my iPhone " christy_santo " wrote: > Hi All, > I had to drive to work yesterday. Normally I would not have attempted it. I have not driven far in ages. I usually leave the driving to my husband to get to work (45 minutes away) and if I do drive it is short distances. > I did fine driving to work but was in too much pain to get back home. My Mom had to drive the van to my house and my father followed in his car to bring her back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
