๐ฅฐ Iโm glad. I didnโt realize Iโd get this much response from this group. Iโm not always pain free but Iโve started to appreciate days that I am.
About once a year I have allergy issues extreme enough to need a prescription for prednisone. Thatโs the week that I get to wake up pain free every day and itโs so friggin amazing. Just all the standard aches and pains and all that crap is just,,, gone.
Itโs so great for that week! I was put on a daily regiment of prednisone for my arthritis, after the first week, all it seemed to do was make me fat. Had to stop taking it.
Asthma, allergies checking in here. I was put on steroids years back, then kept on them for 4 yrs... They didn't know...
I put on a bunch of weight and broke a bunch of bones. Steroid rages... Wild swings in mood...
Just say no to long term use. I'm retired now, and it all hurts, every day. Been married to my wife 18 yrs, she still doesn't believe me.
I was on heavy steroids from age 8 to 18, for severe Crohns disease. I started breaking bones at age 10, and now I'm 42. Crippled and on disability. I was an artist but osteoarthritis and my ruined spine have ended that career.
Idk why your wife doesn't believe you, long term steroid use is well known to be detrimental now. Of course, they didn't tell my mom that when I started pred...
Yeah, great, isn't it?
My poor victimized friend, you do know to stay away from fluroquinalone antibiotics like cipro, avalox, etc... right? I got floxxed back in 2014, and it took me 4 years to recover... this time, they targeted our tendons...
Oh, and she just doesn't believe that I still hurt... she was a nurse, and the feeling I hot from the medical field was that this side effect, although severe, was not permanent. So what if joints hurt, you are old, it is expected....
Mine are always the 5 or 7 day regimen. Long term use is horrible for your body. I get a dermatitis from pollen. Itโs awful. The sniffles and stuffy head I can manage, but when my whole body breaks out from it, I white knuckle it for several days and then cave in and go to the doc.
I haven't taken prednisone, but I did take methylprednisone once for a bad sinus infection and gained about 30 pounds in a week. Good news is that furosemide made the added weight go away. Bad news is that I gained the weight because I had congestive heart failure. -17/10 would not recommend
This is what I needed to hear today. I am happy for you, and I hope you soak this moment in to the fullest. Letโs also get you finding money in your coat pocket!
i had covid last week and with it constant headache. also happen to have tennis elbow. i was taking tons of ibuprofen and tylenol for headache. when headaches stopped, i stopped the meds. one day later i thought, wtf did i do to make my elbow flare up? i really thought my elbow was finally healing with this week of rest because covid! nope, it was just the constant drugging masking the pain. goddamnit
Congratulations! Every morning, I have to formulate a three-point plan to get out of bed without tweaking my lower back or aggravating my shoulder.
At this point, waking up and not feeling any aches or pains is the dream!
Dr. โYou have high blood pressure. Drink more water and less alcohol.โ
Me. โUgh, fine.โ
*one year laterโฆ*
Dr. โGreat. Less alcohol but your kidneys are telling me you still need more water.โ
Me. โBut it makes me PEE all the time! Whatโs worse? High-ish blood pressure or crappy sleep?!โ
Nostalgic memories of drinking and smoking all night with friends in the early/ mid 90โs ..not remembering going to bed and waking up ready to take on the day with nothing more than dry mouth and stinky clothes feeling 100% after a glass of waterโฆ youth is wasted on the young as they sayโฆ
Thank you. Unfortunately arthritis, previous injuries, and just getting older are the real cause here. I keep moving, which definitely keeps the pain to a minimum, but there's no escaping it completely without opioids and I don't think I could get them even if I wanted to, at least not from my doctor
Have you tried any of the things I've listed?

Never hurts to try.
I'm sorry to hear that. A big thing for me with inflammation is my diet. I discovered I have food sensitivities and how I feel is directly related to what I've been eating. Even ordinary healthy foods can give me problems.
Just reading this gets to me. Husband and I were talking the other day after going out with friends. Some older some younger but all X Most of them complained about their aches and pains. My husband even joined in about his back. I'm 58 and have no pains or issues. Just listening to everyone, it has made me more determined to keep walking, riding my bike and going to the gym.
Consider yourself lucky! I'm waiting on a knee replacement, and waking up and being able to walk with no pain would be a major thing. All those days I didn't use the treadmill next to my desk, now I can't. But will be able to after surgery, so keeping spirits up!
Uh oh, sorry to break the news to you. At our age, waking with no pain means you passed in the night. You may want to see how corporeal you are.
Disanimous happens differently for different sorts of people.
Lucky! I feel ok other than this sinus, cold/sick yuck feeling. My back is finally feeling better after I dared to bend and lift the Christmas ham in and out of the oven earlier in the week lol.
Seems difficult. Every time I post I'm going hiking, hot springing, camping, anything outdoors I get almost zero engagement. The group in Utah doesn't seem to have events or activities.ย
After getting over a cold just in time to see my elderly folks, then I got the Norovirus. Somehow managed to not infect them, and after 10 days of visit finally pain/discomfort-free for the final threeโฆbut everybody got something this season, put a crimp in a bunch of plans.

Here's my "Sometimes Nothing Hurts In The Morning" machine
I'm convinced I have a ball of pain that just bullies different parts of my body. Currently it's the knuckle joint on my right index finger. Hurts like a bastard and is preventing me from playing guitar and aching after five minutes on my Playstation. This fucker turned up not long after my 30th birthday, so 22 years now!
S.O.B.
I've been doing a lot of physical therapy and working out again. I almost had a tear come to my eye when my feet hit the floor and there was no pain. It's been 20 years.
I got a Standing desk and now I can sleep a whole night and not have to take a piss.
Someone else try it, sample size of 1 is shit.
It took a few weeks to strengthen my hips and traverse abdominal muscles to be able to stand for 7 hours.
Really improved my sleep aswell.
Bite me
\- still freaking awake and still freaking hurting I hate my hands and hip and shoulder and insomnia why the hell hasn't my prescription been refilled yet?!
