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

Great to have you back again @Owlunar ... I know everyone has been missing you.

Just dropping by to thank you for the support you have provided to me over the years. I have very much valued and appreciated your support and your friendship. I sincerely hope I may have, in some small way, provided some comfort and support to you as well. I wish you well in all that you do.

Totally Agree @Zoe7

I would not be young again. There are some advantages to being older ...

Yes - you could @outlander - but I am concerned that you might have the COVID-19 bug - let's talk about that first

Re: Life can be a Pain

im ok atm @Owlunar its just a nasty cough and sore throat but it also come on at the same time as ive been spring cleaning so they've said it might be from allergies, or a common cold. I just have to keep away from pop and others for now till I speak with my gp and then go from there. they are well equipped to do the tests I need if required and can be done in the morning as itll be classed as urgent. I was told by my nurse anyone who presents symptoms gets treated first but through their drive through (meaning they get suited up I park in the driveway let them know when im here and they'll come out)
