Life can be a Pain

Life can be a Pain

Hi @BlueBay@Zoe7@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@utopia@oceangirl@TAB@Shaz51@PeppiPatty

I know there are more people I could tag but maybe I will think them up as I go along - actually I already have

I think I need my own thread - mostly my problem is chronic pain syndrome - I damaged my spine with the sporting excesses of my youth - a long time ago now - and I managed to rearrange it when I fell of my pushbike in a wind storm nearly 22 years ago and that seems a long time ago now but there is nothing they can do except treat the pain - and I do have Section 8 medication and I see a pain specialist

And the pain has been worse lately and wears me down and I get fed up and very tired -

I have issues with my mother as well - and although she died 2 years ago I still have bad times now and again - she was abusive and as well as I know myself and her this can get to me at times - and this is another reason I opened my own thread

Then there is TS - my Toxic Sister - she was under my skin for a while but not at the moment

So yesterday I felt so bad when I went to see the doctor about my back pain - and my pain specialist has cut my medication back several times over the last few years and she has gone too far - and I started to tell my doctor - yes - I cope with the pain better since my mother died - but it's driving me crackers atm and so are the memories of my mother

So that's it for now - I have had trouble opening this thread for some reason but now I have - I will run my own story - I would like to think I don't need to but yes - I do

You are all such wonderful supportive people - you are my soft place to land - that is so true

And anyone I have missed I will tag as I go along

Lots of hugs everyone

Dec

Hello @Dec, @Former-Member

I am tired now as we usually mow the 4 lawns together as they are next to each other , but they all said to come back next week to mow

so we went and picked up mum`s rubbish and took it to the dump and then hubby trimmed all our bushes

Yes , I hope not , @mohill, I think it might be getting run down and I had the Flu needle last week too

Mr Shaz does things or changes things which I have been thinking he does on purpose , but I have not told anyone so it surprised me and i expected it

when We picked up mum`s rubbish , hubby did the ususal and Mum said " DOES HE DO THAT ON PURPOSE "

Re: Life can be a Pain

hello @Shaz51

You and Mr Shaz have been working hard mowing all of those lawns... all physical work

you mentioned that you had the flu injection last week. Is that round about the same time that you noticed all of the physical symptoms of feeling unwell?

I know that when I used to have the flu injection I would actually come down with a lighter version of the flu.

Still worthwhile having a checkup at your gp to stop it in it's tracks, be on the safe side. Remind your gp that you had the flu injection as well.

Mr Shaz changing his mind perhaps a little quirk he has created to feel more in charge of himself as opposed to medication. Whatever it is it would be about him nothing to do with you Shaz. He adores you xxx

Hello @Owlunar, are you ok my awesome friend

Hi @Shaz51 @Former-Member @outlander @BlueBay @PhoenixRising

I have not been well - and I really am not sure what ever the problem has been but I lost my appetite and my back pain was bad and I had a host of bad memories and I could go on - but it sounds as if other people had a serve of whatever it was -

Why do we feel that little bit better when we find out that there must be something in the water because other people have the same sort of complaint?

Anyway - I did feel better today but Fridays are busy - and I had a girl in to do domestic work here and she was someone I had not had before and she was so lazy it was remarkable - I have never had someone sit on my unmade bed after I have told them to take the sheet and doona cover off - because I cannot do it without hurting myself - and get it in the washing machine because I need her to hang it out

Ah.................eek ...........d'uh - this was amazing - and I am so glad I do not complain often because this girl got a bad report after she left - I had to let my agency know

Ah - oh - this laziness went on and on - - ah --- enough said

But I cleaned the cat's litter last night and either when I lifted the tray empty it or lifted the new bag of little I have pulled muscles in my shoulder - and I was a bit tense - but feel okay now -

I have to stop griping - but this has been a bad few days - I had nothing to bring to the table here - sorry about that - and had a much better day today but -------- enough said about the laziness

So I hope I am more useful now - so I like being useful and I like to be able to vent and feel much better when I have done that

Would that work if I deleted the whole lot? - No - I think not

Glad to be back though - glad I have had something to settle the shoulder - something to relieve the inflamed tendon - and see that people are battling - and feel less isolated - something I can deal with

Re: Life can be a Pain

Ohhh my friend @Owlunar, I knew something was not right , that is why I asked if you were ok xx

sending you lots of hugs my friend

In response to: Re: Life can be a Pain

Re: Life can be a Pain

Thanks @Shaz51

It was strange but I really felt strange and thanks for asking

I think some of us clue into each other at times - even though we have never met and most unlikely never will

But yes - I feel better tonight

About your husband - um ,- Does he do that on purpose? I wondered that about my ex-h - and all these years later if I want to strain my brain - I still wonder -

But what your mother said - or asked - spot on - hit the nail on the head - of course

It's amazing what we can cope with - esp when it was such a long time ago -

Dec

I really like this little heart - let's have some more
