I hope you find relief 😮‍💨. Your pain is real, MS is a beast of a disease. I was on Hydrocodone, Gabapentin, muscle relaxers, head meds, uppers for fatigue (caused by the aforementioned pills, I’m pretty sure, ) and others to combat the side effects from those pills. I got up to 270 pounds, and started needing a cane, heading towards a walker. I turned 50 in 2021 and decided I needed to change before I went straight to the wheelchair. After some weaning off, I got rid of ALL the pills, except one cholesterol med. I now walk 2-5 miles a day, and do some light workouts several times a week. I am on Medical Marijuana, now. I realize that isn’t available for everyone, and I am so sorry for y’all. I have zero idea how your future will go, but I do hope you find relief, and I truly hope the people around you will gain some understanding. Beware of the pills causing more issues, including rebound pain.

I am 165 pounds, now, without the pharmaceutical bloat.
