I just wonder When I drink alcohol my fatigue and pain subsides a lot. I am not a heavy drinker -I talk about a glass of wine or two. I this conditioning or is it that alcohol raise my levels of serotinin or what? Anyone with similar experiences?
But from the little I know, alcohol has been used as a painkiller.

When I drink alcohol generally my pain will subside, because for me it stops me thinking about it... ie generally less aware. When I'm drinking I am more easily entertained and able to focus on one single thing as opposed to also thinking about my pain in the background.
But it depends on the person. I gave up canabis , because it created extra pain... I think mainly because it made me focus on the pain with a single-mindedness....
It can help with relief but that it is definitely no form of cure!
yeah, canabis made the pain much worse for me too. I think it might have something to do with the fact that pot tends to heighten your anxieties.
