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

Hi @BPDSurvivor welcome.

@Owlunar I have no doubt you have all your marbles and more. 😁😁

Sorry about your leg allergy, and good it’s clearing up. You must be the very first person I’ve heard of who has a dentist who is a friend, and likes going. 😩😩😩, definitely not my favourite place to be.

Planning your next trip is excellent, and Perth sounds lovely.

We had a frost here this morning, but it’s turned out quite nice apart from a slight breeze from the Antarctic.

Magnolia trees are in full bloom, such a beautiful sight.

Hope your trip to the dentist went as well as expected. 💕💜💕

@Shaz51 ,

i love the the water and the beach. I’m houseboating for a week which means NO PHONE/INTERNET RECEPTION!! How cool is that? Technology has ruined the social aspect of life. If only our kids knew how to talk to people face-to-face!

Darwin sounds like a great idea for next year @Owlunar - so many things to do and places to see. You could take some day trips to some wonderful places as well. Darwin is one place I have never been but would love to go to myself.

Re: Life can be a Pain

Well honestly, as much as I’d miss your SANE forum posts, you should try an internet-free week...or even start just one day!!! It does marvels! You can go for walks, enjoy the blossoming trees, enjoy the vitamin D from the sun!! If our parents, grandparents survived without it, I’m sure we can.

I challenge you all to try it! Hugs and good luck! @Shaz51 @Decadian @Zoe7 @Maggie @BlueBay
