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

Hey @Owlunar thanks for tagging me into your news. I wasn't aware your health had become more difficult since I was last here with any consistency a couple of years ago. You seem to have very good support in place, which is wonderful to know. But I know that you are the one who actually has to experience the pain, fatigue and other symptoms. Your strong spirit, seeking enjoyment in reading, the night sky and other things despite the physical suffering, is admirable and inspiring. I hope I am giving the finger to the sleep police when I reach your age and wisdom.

I too am awaiting new eyeglasses. No multifocals for me this time. I have never liked them even after three different ways of manufacturing/designing the lenses over the past several years. This time it's flat lenses, two pairs, one for reading, one for medium to long distance. Can't wait. Things are looking a bit blurry with my old ones at this point.

Catch up next time, old forum buddy.

Re: Life can be a Pain

Good morning @Owlunar. Woke up just on first light today and saw two stars very close together lowish to the horizon in the eastern sky. One of them was a very bright one. I wonder what those two could have been. Hope today goes smoothly and as easy as can be for you.

Hi @Mazarita

Hi Maz - good morning to you too

I think what you can see rising are Saturn and Jupiter or even Mercury atm - That's brilliant - I am pretty sure it's cloudy here but I can get up and look

Thanks for the shout out

Good morning @Owlunar

Hope your day is a good one my friend. Better, I expect, with the correct medication dosage. Glad that got sorted. Thinking of you.

Hi also @Mazarita @Shaz51 @Anastasia 🌷

Re: Life can be a Pain

Much better thanks Em - I had a good sleep - so badly needed - today is easier to start

I did get up to see the planets rising - no such luck in Melbourne - heavy clouds

Re: Life can be a Pain

Hi @Owlunar ... just breezing by and thought I'd call in and say hello to you.

And thanks @Mazarita too.

Not overly talkative the past few days, so necessarily brief today. Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you.

Besides, we have a storm brewing quickly here ... about to hit

Emelia 🤗💞

A real cutiepie to keep you company .......

And a wise owl to keep you mentally stimulated ..........
