Chronic pain has many affects beyond just pain. It can affect individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally.

One of the areas that many people living in chronic pain say is affected is their ability to be productive, especially in work.

Does chronic pain affect your productivity? If yes, how so... At home, at work, etc?

Do you have any ways to cope or tips on how to manage?

Chronic pain makes concentration on anything for me difficult because my mind is always on the pain and when the next strong painful contraction will occur. I definitely feel my productivity in life is negatively affected.

Absolutely. There are times where I feel my brain is in a fog because of the pain and that I am not as productive or even at work - as efficient or as direct with others that I should be. I entered into my professional career in my early 30s and at that time I had already had multiple surgeries, which failed, causing more pain. So, I know no other, but I know it affects me and that I am less effecient, suffer from a clouded mine when people talk to me and sometimes when people talk to me my mind is just focused on my pain.

Yes having a fogged brain creates me from being productive and present. Does anyone have any recommendations.

Definitely does. MS is a cruel disease.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.
