I've had chronic pain since the age of 12 when I started my period. I'm 23 and have been dx with intersitial cystitis, fibro, TMJ, migraines, ibs and arthritis.

For pain I have a butrans patch. I'm in the process of finding a new pain management dr. It's so hard to be 23 and be in a pain management clinic because I don't get the care I need because they think "I will become addicted." Which is ********.

If you have fibro and have issues with urgency and frequency and pelvic pain you could have IC. IC and fibro usually present themselves together in many IC patients.

Has anyone been to therapy for chronic pain issues? I have been dx with bipolar and borderline personality disorder but I feel they relate to my chronic pain.

Does anyone have a good med combo that includes a long acting opiate with a short acting opiate for b/t pain?
