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,

I hope you're well today 🙂

No one else has reported a similar problem and there is no system issue. Keep an eye on it and if it is an ongoing issue you can send us an email at team@saneforums.org.

Warmest regards,

Sphinxly

@Former-Member

I never received notification of @Owlunar post this morning either, even though I was tagged.

Only reason I knew she had posted was because I subscribe to this thread.

Seems that Dec's tags did not work. Havent noticed the issue anywhere else though.

Good Luck @Owlunar

@Former-Member I have noticed quite a few tags do not show up in my notifications. It seems a little random and weird. I notice it when I am looking around and see tags I never responded to. Recently I could check notifications and clearly see they were not in the list. Seems a bit random ..??

Re: Life can be a Pain

Hi @Appleblossom and thank you for letting us know. Would you be open to sending us some more information via email so we can look into the issue?

I will send an email to you now with some of the information that is helpful for us to know so we can investigate it further

@Daisydreamer Not getting some email notifications either or they are coming out of order and a lot later. There have been issues before a few times when @Owlunar has tagged - wondering if she is copying and pasting the list as that never seems to work?

Re: Life can be a Pain

I've defintiely done that many times before too @Zoe7 with copying and pasting names, I'll keep looking into it to see if there is an error or what's happening with copying and pasting names

Hi @Anastasia @Bunniekins @Emelia8 @Zoe7 @BlueBay @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @outlander @Clawde @Daisydreamer

Thanks Zoe - for warning me about the tagging problem - I hope this improves - this morning I have typed them all out separately instead of copying them - maybe this will be better

I had my procedure on Friday - it will be tender for a while but I think it really is better - still hoping. I had to wait a long time to get into the theatre on Friday - it was after 5.30 - things happen I know and understand this but I really hope this doesn't happen again tomorrow when I go to a different hospital for my facet joint injections. I will be glad to have that done too

Yesterday I had a roast dinner at my daughter's house - it was wonderful to spend time with my family - my daughter knows about chronic pain now so we do have so much to talk about - I never shared much about pain with her before this - we are both into dealing with less medication all the time - and it's not easy. I suppose it's great to have someone else to chat about it with

I'm not really comfortable so I need to keep this short.

cyber hugs @Owlunar

ones that dont touch tender places.

Always good to hear from you.

I am amazed you need to go to 2 separate hospitals for the injections. OMG Talk about over specialisation, but I guess we gotta do wot we gotta do, and you have to work with the spllt systems spotted all over the joint ...

Thinking of you laying waiting for operation .. not fun, I know.

@Daisydreamer I got this tag quickly. Re email, Sorry, I cannot justify too much more of my time, tracing all the tech issues. I feel I have given a lot of time to the forum. If you know me you will know that I am over tek hype.

Cheers
