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

Hi @Maggie @Zoe7 @utopia @Shaz51 @BlueBay

Terrible day - icy cold with heavy rain and so dark - who ordered that

I'm used to cooking on Saturdays but not today - I have pulled the medial ligament in my knee and walking around the supermarket with my crutches yesterday set off my shoulder and my back - not much happening here today

But yes - Maggie - Owlunar hasn't come back since I saw her a few nights back - I guess it's been too wet too whoo

And BlueBay - I have read your posts - your having a bad day too - I will catch up later

I'm cooking bacon and eggs for my dinner and plan to go to bed after that -

Just checking in

Hi @Owlunar

sorry to read you’re in so much pain.

Rest up as much as possible.

The weather has been disgusting. So much damage.

I’m in the lounge room on my own as hubby is watching some stupid show in front room. And I’m not interested in his show.

Gosh now it’s pouring agsin with hail.

Oh @Owlunar you are in the wars Hon. Look after yourself as best you can - an early night out of the cold sounds perfect for you tonight. Thank you for checking in - I wish it was under better circumstances for you though
