No offense taken. FWIW, Tramadol is quasi opioid, having a mu receptor. It’s about the lightest of pseudo-narcotics and has an effect of taking multiple NSAIDS. Years ago
a pharmacist encouraged me to up its taking to more regularity, e.g. 3-5 daily in order to build up my blood concentration/effect. I did this for awhile and then withdrew since I developed a tolerance. It was a minor discomfort for about 3 days, e.g. sniffles, runny nose, and the like - nothing like withdrawing from a more substantial real narcotic compound. I now use it singularly on occasion for minor but persistent pain w/o worry of addiction.
Also, I understand your eye spasms and may even experience some similar aberration. Certainly, bright sunlight is painful to the point of having to use polarized sun glasses to control the input. I had a detached retina in my right eye way back in college. While it was remarkedly fixed I still get wierd sensations in my eyes. I’m not sure if I can correlate this to CFS since I’ve been afflicted with CFS for so long. Maybe others have similar experiences?
