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 @Zoe7 @BlueBay @Shaz51 @outlander @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope and others

I'm just checking in - my shoulder is troublesome and I'm not feeling well

Also - I can't use my computer because of a landline issue and I find using my phone for messages difficult

I know a couple of people are taking time out - I have been reading a few messages but not keeping up

I'm okay though and I will be back as usual when I feel better and more useful

Not taking time out @Owlunar .. I am leaving as soon as my account can be closed, which I'm told is tomorrow.

So sorry you are not feeling well, on top of the your painful shoulder, etc.

I will post to my thread later, which will explain more about the reason I need to leave.

I will miss you though, and will always think fondly of you. Hope you feel better soon, I know you are missed here. As I too will miss you.

Sherry 🌺🤗

Re: Life can be a Pain

I'm really sorry you are leaving @Former-Member - I will miss you but you have to do what's righr for you to keep yourself safe

It's the pain in my shoulder that's making me feel sick - it's wearing me down - my case worker offer me time in respite but my shoulder would still hurt so I am staying at home

I wish you the best Sherry

@outlander @Shaz51

It's good to see you - I am seeing my doctor again tomorrow - and my pain specialist week after next

The pain tablets work for a short time - I'm glad of that

Re: Life can be a Pain

@Owlunar I am sorry to hear your shoulder is still troublesome Hon and also that you are not well. I understand that pain at present as my back has been bad for weeks and the last few days I have also been feeling really unwell. For me it is most likely a lack of sleep but whatever the reason it is not ideal for either of us.

I always love when you pop in for however long or short that is Dec. Seeing your little night owl pop up makes me smile every time My sister had an owl on her back fence last week and of course I instantly thought of you - those connections we have are important and do give us a lift.

Look after yourself Dec - no need to respond or post until you are able to do so - but you are thought of and loved
