Pain - something that does help

2012

This medicine, available over the counter, actually does help relieve the pain in my joints. It is called Nagesic Forte and it is made from curcumin which is also in tumeric.  It is made specifically for arthritis pain and it has helped reduce the pains in my ankles and wrists.

I know you will keep in mind that what may work for me may not work for you.
It is meant to:

1. Provide symptomatic relief of arthritis pain
2. Provide symptomatic relief of inflammation
3. Inhibit the process of cartilage destruction.

Some days

Somedays I forget to take my regular pain meds. I don't realise until I 'm wondering to myself why I'm in so much pain today? So I guess they work and they keep the scourge of pain at bay.
I don't think I would be a nice person without my pain meds. It has been hard to come to terms with living in chronic pain and understanding that I need to take these tablets all the time. I have never been one for taking lots of painkillers or antibiotics or anything like that and usually prefered more natural ways.
The only thing that is constant is change.

Side effects?

Today I am feeling nauseous again.
I presume it is the immunosuppressant drugs I am taking.
I have been taking the full dose for nearly a week now, which coincides with the sick feeling in the stomach. It may just be a coincidence. Who knows?
