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

Re: Life can be a Pain

@Owlunar I know you may be feeling like that at this point in time but you would be very much missed my beautiful wise owl. Take some time if you need but know we will be here for you with whatever you decide. There are times in our lives that we just need to look after ourselves - and if that means we can no longer provide support to some then that is okay. We all have our limits, our own triggers and our own breaking points and as a result we need to look after ourselves. I am here for you Dec with both that understanding and ongoing care for you

@Owlunar You're moving on? We've just been getting through the burst tap debacle and you weren't thinking of it then, were you? Dec, I'm sorry you aren't alright. So sorry. We all love you here. Sending my very best wishes. Take care, always.

Hi @Shaz51 @Historylover @Zoe7

I don't want to leave - I have such wonderful friends - I would miss everyone

You will understand I am sure that I can't elaborate on what happened - I will see what takes place in the morning -

And right HistoryLover - it wasn't the burst tap and the mess and a pretty wasted day - it wasn't anything obvious actually but something different.

I mostly do take life on the chin - not this time - as Zoe says - we all have our moments

Thanks so much ladies for your love and support

I'm okay now - just very tired and going to bed after this post

I don't want to leave - it's amazing how things can change so fast sometimes

I will see how I feel in the morning - however - my friends here are speaking up for me - that has to be a good thing
