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 @Emelia8 @Anastasia @BlueBay @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @MDT

It's Sunday afternoon - my daughter went home from hospital on Friday afternoon and when I spoke to her she was feeling much better and I am so glad of that

And thanks everyone for your messages and supports - I am still feeling whacked out by the whole thing - I am so glad my daughter had similar pain management treatment to what I am having and I hope she gets a long lasting result as I have done. It's a relief to have this over - at least I hope it is - and your support was fantastic - I appreciate it so much

My shoulder is causing me more pain and I am taking more medication for it though I have still reduced it a lot - my GP asked me what I was going to do about it when I saw him on Friday and I think I had better email my specialist to let him know that I will need the procedure again soon - it's 3 months at the end of October and I am okay - and maybe the pain was worse because of my stress with my daughter facing a possible spinal fusion

The morning was bleak and grey today but it seems to be sunny now and I might see if I can do something about my garden - the vines have gone viral with so much rain - I cut a lot back yesterday and that was enough - now I have to sweep them up

I am tired of the lock-down now summer is coming and the Premier has told us we can't walk out of it yet - I am joining the ranks of those who keep to the restrictions but have had a gutful - I want to get some more travel in before I get too old - and that's my rant for now

Back later friends - I'll just see what the cute kitties have to say today

Thanks @Bunniekins

It is a lovely day and I think I will take a book outside and read in the sun - I have the front door open and the air smells lovely - and someone has mowed their lawn and the fresh grass is really sweet

I am glad you had a Pea-ceful day - I'm glad you have enjoyed it
