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

Re: Life can be a Pain

Anniversaries - years pass and the times when our losses were so deep have eased - still we remember of course

Tomorrow its 6 years for my mother next week 10 years for Dad - at the time I felt it was unendurable but I lasted the distance but I did and it's easier now

I am glad so many of you are out there in cyberspace - we don't know each other's names or faces but we all share so much

@Owlunar .. thinking of you as you approach these difficult anniversaries.

I too am grateful for the members out there in cyberspace, yourself included, who help to keep us all afloat during the difficult times. And then to share the good times as well. Of which we all have, thankfully. Life is just so full of ups and downs. It would be nice to keep things on the up, and iron out all the downs ... but sadly thats not possible. But I guess you need the downs to appreciate the ups. I hope your downs are short and your ups very long.

Emelia 😊💞
