I'm sensitive to loud noises so I purchased noise canceling headphones and wear them all the time. They really do help

@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.

Hello everyone,
Did you know that fibromyalgia can sometimes heighten your sensitivity to sounds, smells, or even light? ๐
This increased sensitivity can feel overwhelming, but itโs a common experience for many living with this condition. Letโs open up the conversation!
Have you noticed any particular sensitivities (noise, light, smell) connected to your fibromyalgia? ๐ง๐ก๐ธ
What are your go-to strategies for managing these moments? ๐ก
Do you think this sensitivity might have a silver lining, such as boosting creativity or making you more attuned to your surroundings? ๐จ
