I’m a retired infectious disease nurse and I’m following you and progress..I think your handling your pain medication just fine , you know what your doing, I’m kind of sad that you have quit nursing because your awesome but you have to do what your heart tells you..I’m going to be watching you and if you need any old nurse advice or just a good old ear to listen , I’m here...❤️

[@sarahmorley1031]

Hope you're feeling much better Maggie. I take oxycodone every day, have done for years and I have the croaky voice. The barn is looking great, I look forward to the updates every video. We all appreciate you doing the premieres so that we can interact. I love watching your videos, all the way from London 🇬🇧 xxx

Great pain management tips, my heat pad is permanently attatched to me too. I have a couple and they are probably my number one help with pain. I've been trying a bit of meditation but I can't seem to get through that pain barrier. Thx Maggie, you're awesome xx

I go to a nurse practitioner and she gives me Valium suppositories from a compounding pharmacy for my bladder spasms and it really works for me

[@lisalove511]

I’m a Cancer patient/survivor and for three years now I’ve been taking pain medicine. It’s unbelievable how they make you feel like you are a drug abuser when you ask for pain meds. Thank God the law protects Cancer patients so we are able to get them. I am in pain 24/7 so I couldn’t get by without them. I have also used the essential oils and other natural remedies which help but don’t necessarily take it away completely. Also really like the ASMR videos and sounds. Please let me know who your faves are! Thank you for the update and I love your nail color! Super cute!

[@jewellenea9257]

Lisa Love this is my biggest annoyance also. Just moved and asked the new dr to refill my Ativan for about 90 pills a year. Had the script for 20 years. She wanted me to sign a pain management contract. When I refused I got written up because I told her I was not giving up any of my rights to her. It is horrible. Ageism is also horrible.

Hi Maggie and Zak!! I started watching your videos several months ago and was hooked from the start and became a subscriber! I live in northern NJ and am an RN working in L&D, Postpartum and NICU! I was diagnosed with Celiacs disease back in 2014 and have def experienced my own struggles as far as my immune system/body hating me lol! And i just wanted to say that you are truly an inspiration to me! Everything that you have been through and you still continue to have such a positive outlook....watching your videos brightens my day! 🤗💜🥰💖🤗 I love watching your barn updates and cant wait to continue seeing all the progress!!! My husband and I got married in 2013 but if we were still planning a wedding today, I would def be coming for a tour!!!!

[@melaniepoulton6738]

You are doing an awesome job managing your pain Maggie-after so many surgeries and complications, you know your body and how to deal with the pain. Thanks for the updates. The barn looks amazing!! During my chemo, I was unable to sleep due to the chemo meds. I used essential oils everyday. I found that along with Lavender, Sandalwood really helped me relax and sleep.

[@jackiesullivan5638]

I love how you talk about alternatives to managing pain. Ive had three spinal surgeries and one of them they did two surgeries at once since it would stabilize all my broken pieces again. My best friend bought me one of those U shaped pregnancy pillows. Best thing ever because i got cut open on my spine and then my lower stomach so i had to stay on my right side. Also i used a tens unit so much that they actually offered to fight with my insurance to get a nerve stimulator implant on my spinal cord so i wouldnt feel much pain from my waist down. Before my pain management was 5 mg of roxycodone every 4-6 hrs. Now i take 2-3 tramadol everyday and 4 mg of tizanadine at night to help me sleep. I have been taking gabapentin since i was 17 and im 33. I do have spinal cord damage so i will always take it but i just take it at night. Plus im so used to taking it, it doesnt effect me anymore. At first i was looped out.

[@marissaclifford4882]

I'm glad your managing your pain, sending good vibes. The barn is looking really awesome, and I'm so glad you got the fans too. That's so cool you got Hooty! Hope your burn from the heating pad heals quickly. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 I'm so proud of you for walking after surgery.

Thank you so, so much!

[@katlynmorford1231]

It’s even harder when you have several severe chronic health issues which really require pain meds but can’t get them because you have a history of dependence after doc had you on them for ten years!

[@DomenicaTurtle]

I'm a former psw that planned to go into nursing, specifically wound care but have given up due to my chronic illnesses. I love your blogs. so very real. I metabolize pain medications so quickly. I have had many surgeons bottom me out several times after waking up due to uncontrolled pain. I had one dr ready to send me home on 9mgs dilaudid x2hrs. my spouse had to refuse to pick me up. I was so out of it. They are either so stingy or so crazy with over prescribing. I've never had a good hospital experiance.

[@Ladypuppy510]

I have several chronic conditions including type one diabetes, gastroparesis, stenosis in my hip facets and lumbar spine, and fibromyalgia. I’m very lucky to have been with my pain management doctor for many years and truly get pain medications appropriate for my conditions. I had major surgery last year to rebuild my esophagus which resulted in the gastroparesis flaring for the first time in a decade. It’s causing me a great deal of issues and discomfort. I couldn’t eat before the surgery and now can’t eat again. It’s hard to keep my spirits up.

[@siobhanstevenson2476]

love zeek and you!

[@jonkicker1278]

I love you guys. You two are so great together and it's easy to see how much you care and love each other. It's funny about the owl; this year we have had one hanging around and I can hear it every morning when I go outside. That is strang because we live on the edge of our town and have not heard or seen one here for the past 15 years we have lived here.

[@Cochita322]

Hi Maggie❤ always watching you , like I said before English is my second language so my vocabulary is not too big but I wanted to tell you that i can't get enough of your videos you are so likable and your future husband too, I don't have friends but I wish I had a friend like you

Hay you two you really do make me smile which can distract from pain, you are so strong and positivity is also good thank you for sharing your pain management it is really helpful take care both of you Teresa xx

[@Brandi.65]

I took that combination, after my hip surgery. I couldn't have made it through without it.

[@bunnylacy2097]

There’s things you can use to be able to use electronics with regular plugs in the car!! You can use your heating pad in the car!

[@littlemrpinkness295]

The barn is looking fantastic! You are doing that full time now, awesome. I can't wait to see when it is finished. You keep touching your face. I have chronic pain because of chronic pancreatitis. I like to imagine the pain floating up out of me, getting caught by the ceiling fan and swirled around, and then flung through the window where it soars up into the air and away! This works even better with imaginary ceiling fans.

[@SuperMickeyr]

FYI: there are heating pads that plug into car lighter!

You look so fantastic Maggie! I hope your bladder spasms start to ease up soon. I have my heating pad on me right now .. ever since I started having colon issues and surgeries my heating pad is my best friend👍👍 it does help... My anxiety level after surgery is through the roof Maggie and it does intensify the surgical pain. I am not a very good patient as I do not tolerate the pain well at all.. I’m going to take your advice after my next surgery that I may be having at a later date.. thank you for sharing your ideas❤️👍🙏

[@kerribirdsall2311]

You can get a power inverter to plug into your car’s cigarette lighter and plug your heating pad into that. You could also use the Thermacare type products for portable heating.

I guess I kind of use video's anything about yarn, knitting and crochet. I am a knitter and crochet I love yarn etc. it helps with my depression and I was diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back and I also walk a lot. It took a long time of my legs hurt and finally found a great doctor that realized it was coming from my back. I kept getting told I nothing wrong with my legs that it was all in my head.

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I'm the same way! There is a man who does videos about amaryllis flower care and it is soothing and relaxing. I'm sorry that happened to you but so glad you found a great doctor finally!

I was on oxycodone for 3 years, it took about 3 weeks for the pain clinic to get me off and now I have Gabapentin

[@misterslats]

Does gaba put you in a weird headspace? That's what it did to me. What is the source of your pain?

[@AndiSchneider]

Unfortunately, I’ve had to be on pain meds for years, with a great pain management doctor. Having gastroparesis,short gut, and EoE I can’t take any meds orally, and I can’t take any NSAIDS without stomach bleeds. We tried everything before resorting to pain medication, the craziest thing is that narcotics slow your transit, with fentanyl my intestinal transit is under ten minutes, which is really bad. I have wanted to get off fentanyl patches for a lower med for a long time, but the docs don’t trust my absorption to put meds through my j tube, and obviously, we aren’t putting narcotics through my central line. My thing is that everyone is different like you said, and I wish that they would take the time to realize that, to everyone on pain medication is a drug addict. I take mine as directed and I am raising an autistic kiddo alone while manage three complex GI conditions, heart issues, and can’t keep my blood counts up. I think you’re channel is great because you tackle the issues that so many of us struggle with. I’m nervous because I need another big surgery, my crazy anatomy from so many surgeries, most of my stomach being removed, bowel being removed, nothing is in the right place anymore. My gj is obstructed by my anatomy causing massive leaking of bile and stomach acid, which is really painful, and my new tube feed isn’t going well, which means they will bring up TPN again. My last big surgery was six years ago, they left my midline open to close from the inside out because of my issues with infections and sepsis. I’m 34 now, and a tough surgery with an older kiddo should be easier, but my kiddo doesn’t understand why he can’t just jump on momma and give big hugs all the time. My son is my miracle, the docs said we would never survive. I really appreciate you sharing your journey with the world.

[@jewellenea9257]

Andi Schneider THC is the best. Fought it for years. Glad I tried it. Fibromyalgia, CFS, arthritis, migraine

[@Thisistaraa]

It’s so cute that random people are telling a nurse how to take her own meds... and Tylenol of all things 🙄 I think she can handle it guys

[@tonkinbray]

Agreed, she never mentioned taking percocet anyways. All the advise I've given has been purely to share my 10 years of nursing experience in the UK with her. Mainly just incase there is anything we brits do differently, that'd help xx

[@Thisistaraa]

Chris Matthews there’s a big difference between nurses sharing experiences and the cringey non-medical people lecturing her on pharm 101 type stuff 😭

[@rennierad]

Great advice ❤

[@patriciaconstantino4669]

Walking after surgery hurts so much but once you start walking the pain does ease up a bit and I do start to gain strength from walking too... 👍

[@patriciafrancis9134]

I'm a retired Critical Care/ Critical Care Adm. nurse and also a chronic pain client I feel that today's atmosphere tends to favor the abusers and/or criminals rather than clients in moderate to severe pain. Anyone with level 7.5-10 should be able to get narcotic pain management. I have seen post-op abd. midline surgical clients receive an Ibuprofen rather than a Vicodin or Dilaudid. That level of pain over-whelms a client to the point where they can not be distracted because their pain is their total focus.

[@maryreynolds5310]

Lol, Maggie over doing it..only once in a while. :) Maggie, a long question..and please be honest with me as a nurse. So a few surgeries back, I woke from a nap in my hospital bed. My feet and calf’s were swollen, then I noticed I had a huge (long spider vein like.) I asked my nurse to please take me off fluids, I was swelling bad..She said she had to get the ok from my dr first. Then my swelling was worsening I told her, and I showed her the vein that was new too. Ok, I was just turning into an umpalumpa, my face, fingers, everything was swelling and I was getting more veins showing. I told my nurse again..now this was the next day, and she said she was still waiting to hear from him. I demanded to be taken off, she wouldn’t. I cried and told every nurse I was getting so ugly and nobody cared! She explained how swelling is normal so the dr doesn’t get too worried. I said NOW WAIT A MINUTE!! Look at me, I’m a different person, I have spider veins all over my legs when I never had any, and I’m a balloon! She look at my stuff in the computer, she told me the ordering nurse didn’t put how bad , let me..she did and dr Thekk called right away. He said take me off fluids, and to give me a water pill. I went 2 whole days this way, Maggie, I have lymphedema and spider veins. Also now I have leaky veins. All because of what wasn’t done! Please be honest, what would you have done for me as a nurse? Now Maggie, I’m sick at how my body looks now. It’s bad enough I have had umpteen surgeries, but my body has changed this other way. I’m somewhat a vein person, makeup, nicely dressed, etc...ok, So ya...what would you have done? xoxo P.s. I agree, pain is different I’m us all. I too live with my heating pad. Hey, have you seen the full body ones? I have one and I love it!!

[@ronv5855]

Thank you for sharing this information. My total proctectomy surgery is scheduled for November 3,2020 so any helpful information is appreciated...as I am sure you know. I decided against j pouch... this old guy isn’t interested in more surgeries than is absolutely necessary. I take so many drugs it’s crazy: gabapentin, robaxin, duloxatin for neck radiculopathy pain as well as jardiance for type 2 diabetes that also helps reduce the neuropathy I experience. Then there’s the levothyroxin, omeprazol, methotrexate, folic acid...and don’t forget Remicade, Benadryl and Solumedrol infusion every 8 weeks. The life of having UC wreak havoc on my body for over 40 years in. Cardiologist is putting off statins at this time although my tryglicerides are increasing over time.

[@mkcottawa]

I was thinking to do some ASMR- I do unboxing and with lower voice as ppl sleep around and some say it make them relax and they feels some tingles from my unboxing videos lol

[@karendeakin8861]

Think chronic pain sufferers here in uk going to need good ideas for pain relief as our drs are being told not to prescribe any opiates like tramadol and also the gabapentin type drugs apparently my pain is going disappear with exercise cbt and acupuncture except here in uk waiting lists here in my part uk are up to 2 years!! Crazy

[@LetsTalkIBD]

Oh man! It is a really difficult situation - I know the doctors want to protect themselves and their patients, but there are patients who NEED these drugs who use them as indicated. I'm sorry you are going through this!!

[@bereal6590]

Totally agree.. I'm in UK and my DRS have been rubbish... I'm in chronic SEVERE PAIN after a failed op... And they don't even want to see me back for any help.

[@karendeakin8861]

LetsTalkIBD honestly I could not believe the new healthcare guidelines only people on trials for chronic regional pain syndrome are going to be prescribed no idea what it’s really going to mean but we as a community of pain sufferers are going to have to do some lobbying

White noise can be helpful if asmr isn't your thing. I'm not into asmr, but I do enjoy listening to a good rainfall on a tin roof, or the sound of the ocean. Maggie, I am sorry I never get to join the fun of your premiers! I set up notifications, but something always comes up and I don't seem to ever get to participate😭. Also, Arie still has a few of the MOOD products on sale, 3/10$... those are cbd infused body care, like muscle balm, lip balms, and body lotions. They also have some aroma therapy roller ball items on sale. I just ordered 2 more muscle balms and another lip balm... and yes! They work THAT well! Better than my homemade cbd muscle cream 😢, which makes me kinda sad. I guess I just have to reformulate my recipe.

Or else the people who have damage don’t have time (or power) to watch videos the day or two after a hurricane! Five years ago I was hit by an ambulance (my body, not my car). It broke my hip and pelvis, but thankfully nothing was displaced so no surgery. I had a concussion before they hit me, but the hit made it worse. By day 2, I was on only Tylenol and Advil, alternating them, and also some concussion headache medicine.

I’m with Zak on the whole whispering junk...it’s creepy! Sorry MAggie..lol

[@6Fiona6_P_6]

But with Hot Water Bottles and Hot Pod Products and the like, people need to be careful. As over use can lead to a condition called Erythema ab igne. It's a skin condition caused by long term exposure to heat. In a lot of cases this can be fixed and reversed. But in some cases it can't and can lead to worse skin and tissue damage and complications ( Unfortunately including cancer)...... And I sympathise with You Zak as I suffer from Misophonia. One of my main triggers is 'mouth breathing ' . It doesn't have to be loud. It can be a mere whisper of 'mouth breathing ' at certain times and it just drives me up the bloody darn wall. And I feel like putting gaffer tape over peoples mouths when it happens ( but just to reassure people I don't put tape over peoples mouths but I sure do darn feel like doing it)....... ☮️⚛️🌏

[@feliciabourque]

When it comes with pain I must have a high pain tolerance because I pop 2 alive and I'm fine. The only time I take actual prescribe painkillers is if I am crying and can't Talk. I definitely think that aromatherapy is a great idea to help manage pain. As for asmr I'm like zac I can't handle it. It creeps me out and grosses me out especially the food ones

[@tonkinbray]

Im a nurse too (uk) and it perfectly safe to take oxycontin and tylenol (paracetamol) together. They're not in the same group of drugs. So morphine and oxycodone would be unsafe, as would oxycodone and codeine xxx

[@peachxtaehyung]

I think people are worried about her liver and stuff. People thought she was taking oxycontin with Tylenol then taking more Tylenol on top with it. Just like my doctors couldn't believe that a few years back my pain doctor had me on hydrocodone with Tylenol then more Tylenol on top of it

[@tonkinbray]

@@peachxtaehyung oh ok. In the UK oxycontin is on its own. We only combine codeine to dose of 1gram (paracetamol) and 60mg (codeine) in 2 tablets. Coz oxycontin is a much stronger drug than codeine, its nearly 20 times stronger than the latter. Codeine is a 10th of the strength of morphine, and oxycodone is double the strength of morphine. I think its weird that oxycodone is combined as one tablet. I think Maggie is managing her pain excellently, the dosage of oxycodone is appropiate for her size. And oxycodone does damage the kidneys less, its actually the dosage we'd give to a renal patient as it a less half life in the body. Its a shame that NSAIDS arent typically good for IBD as diclofenac is a fantastic analgesic for kidney spasms xxx

And hear i am just worried about the oxybutin not working😂 Ofcourse you wouldn’t double your dose . I knew they worked together because my parents get that prescribed for dental work. Oh, karen’s of the internet.
