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

@Owlunar Lovely Dec am so glad that you are feeling a bit better and enjoying some stew tonight. Are there peas in it ( we are full of iron so very healthy). I would love some and a long black coffee would be great thanks. Take good care of yourself sweetheart. Love peaxxx

Dear @Owlunar

I am writing here in the hope that you'll see it. I have missed you lots. Not a day goes by where I'm not thinking of you.
you have been like a "mum" to me and I'm so grateful we met on here a few years ago.
you understand what I'm going through.

I know you had surgery a while ago. Im hoping you are recovering well.
oh @Owlunar I miss you. I don't know if you're ok and just needing a break. Which is totally fine because self care is important.

Thinking of you lots and I'm praying you're ok. It's the not knowing how you are that's hard. 🥲
Sending you lots of love hugs and strength ❤️❤️❤️ Xxxooo

Hoping you are ok dear @Owlunar having had surgery a few weeks back. Hoping the pain has eased and you're more mobile now.

Sending you love 💕

@Owlunar I can see that it has only been a few days since you last logged on but your absence of posting usually means life is not too great or you are struggling with pain - I really hope neither is right and you are just needing down time. Hugs and hugs and hugs Dec

Re: Life can be a Pain

@Owlunar I can see you have logged on today but not posted. Like everyone else I am worried about you but also know it is not always possible to respond - even when we feel like we can sometimes when it comes to actually writing anything we cannot. So continuing to send you love and hugs and holding space for the time you can come back to us
