I am diagnose with another incurable illness

[Voodooman]

12 years of medication and you are adding new ones?  Perhaps you should consider exploring alternative treatments, a change of lifestyle or diet?  Examples, going vegan or losing some weight may help the body to cope. Status quo don't look like an option. But i won't recommend going off your meds. 

I know a TCM professor (yes, he coaches otherTCM doctors) who specializes in bone and nerve diseases. If you would like to try him, PM me.  Just sharing. I know you don't believe in TCM.... Me too, 10 years ago and even now, very selectively. 

From your posts, you seem to be someone who is happy to share, i hope you will find wisdom and an effective remedy from friends here and elsewhere. Good luck.

If I may suggest, get Magnesium Citrate, I used to take this after gym, helps me sleep very well, it's not addictive of course, and not some sleeping pill. You may lack Magnesium in your diet. Just get a bottle from iHerb, not expensive, 2 tabs before bedtime. I stopped taking this due my diet now is high on maganisum, potassium etc, plus "IDGAF" also.  

I have taken magnesium supplement before, i took this supplement due to my often headache, got help a bit for my headache and sleep. But due to high dosage, stomach always discomfort. So stopped talking now.

Actually, I have lost weight during the past year. Not sure if its cos of the illnesses. My doctor has taken note of it. From 95kg from beginning of the year to just 86kg in December. Not sure why I am losing weight so quickly nowadays. Maybe old liao. Previously, losing weight was slow process even with exercising and IF. 86kg is my lowest ever for a very long time liao.

Must monitor and see how fast you lost your weight. Sometimes not a good thing if you lost weight too much over a short period. Also must note on your daily routine, anything that causes weight lost.

If the weight loss is planned and intentional, it is good but losing 9kg without a change of diet and a stepped up calories burning regime may warrant some attention as to its underlying cause. Luckily it is over 1 year period... Could it be due to stress, career changes, etc?

Public or private doctors may I ask? 😁

I've been to both but meeting the right one is important.

Pain is a big business but there doesn't seem to be any doctor that have an answer to my condition.

In that case, they can only treat the symptoms leading to taking tons of neuropathic pain, anti-depressant, typical pain killer medication which in turn affects other functions of your body.

It may sound ironic but how I wish my pain only flares up once in a while.

At least that's happening with Adrianli.

What pain you have, how come you feel pain 24/7?

Recent years i also have pain here and there quite often and sometimes it already affecting my mood and daily routine.

No lah, this is Magnesium Citrate lah, not some drug. Citrate wise for absorption by the body. Helps calm you down and helps in getting deep sleep.

As you age, your circardian rhythm peak will peak earlier, somewhere around 4-5am. That's why u see as people age, lot of older folks like to come out for morning exercise.

Ideally, u should start sleeping earlier, 8-9pm.

But generally speaking, our circadian rhythms are broadly distributed into 3 categories,
i) Early risers early sleepers
ii) people who prefer to sleep around 12mn or so 
iii) the real night owls.

Those in 1st category will have little problems getting used to ageing patterns. ii) and iii) will find it difficult to cope.

I myself is in the 2nd category. So is my wife.

 

Me sleep around 2 to 3 am . Took wine to help sleep. Wake up every 2 to 4 hrs . Haiz ...

Lot of people take alcohol to sleep. even my mum sometimes.

Alcohol can help u fall asleep because it sedates you. But your brain sleep centers actually aren't putting u to sleep.
But what it does is that it fragments your sleep. U spend a lot of time in light sleep.
Over the years, I've realised that I'm sensitive to this effect.
So i only drink when i meet my friends every 1-2 months.

I used to like my beer and still do, but i already have some problems with sleep, so i don't want to worsen it.

Never been a morning person. Primary school was next to my block and I went late once every few months. Stand at school gate and sing Majulah Singapura. No punishment as long as not late for first lesson.

Seems like many people have problems with sleep in some ways. 😓
