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

Hi @Shaz51

It's good to be home and able to use my computer. I have been away for some time - I had to get this pain sorted out and the treatment I had was excellent - but very hard. The doctors and nurses were terrific. Changes in medication can be made easier when required and necessary. I really did have some important Owl Shit to do

It's nice to be home

I was away for so long because I needed to attend to myself - I did email the moderators to let them know the situation. I was reading bits and pieces now and again but there is so much really hard stuff coming in - I guess this has a lot to do the COVID and the lock-downs etc. People are really sick and tired of it but it goes on. And in hospital very one wears a mask and it is hard to tell who's who. I wonder if this is the future. We will be hiding half of our faces and social distancing for a long time. Anyway - I am compliant and vaccinated and do all I can and that is the best we can do.

I can't post much today - I have missed so much I just need to be in touch. I will find out how people are going as I gather strength

Lots of love
