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

Oh @Owlunar, that sounds horrible, get migraine myself occasionally and know how they knock you round. You'll need to take it easy tonight. Surprised it broke through all the pain medication you're on, maybe you should have it checked out. Big owlet hug 💜🌷🌿

Re: Life can be a Pain

Hi @Former-Member

I am nearly always very busy on Fridays - and I had a bad night - and I have been up for a while - I managed to sleep with a movie on for a while - and now I have made a big pot of soup and I am cooking some fried rice with the beef I bought for the soup - and the kitchen gets out of control - it sure does

I get migraine from time to time - not often - and when I have one I find I either toss my medication up with anything else I might have eaten or whatever - if I do get to hold it down it doesn't work as well

I don't need to get it checked out - my old GP - who retired just a good while back - told me I could go to a headache specialist and pay a lot of money and try different medication I already know doesn't work or is dangerous in other ways - so I just get along with it or if it's bad I can have an injection for it - this is allowed by my pain specialist

If I thought there was anything serious wrong I have an alarm system set up here - it's a complicated thing but I have a wrist band with a blue button and I can press that and the agency can talk to me over a radio I have here and they can send an ambulance - the paramedics can get in with a key that is outside in a locked box - I am pretty well set up here -

I saw my GP late yesterday and he probed my big toe with the in-grown toenail - ouch - I did a bit of ouching etc with all of that - I have been on antibiotics for over a week now and I have another week - and then I get to have it fixed with some minor surgery - my father had the same thing with his toes

So I have been busy washing and cooking since I finally joined the human race this morning - I had a bad day with a migraine that could have been worse - but yesterday - so much happening and it is wonderful when people care about me - this has not always been the case

Thanks Lapses

Dec🎉🎊

Glad you're good @Dec, ggood to see you. I'm impressed you've made soup etc I bought pumpkin two weeks back and still haven't made the soup. The boss gave the shop keys to my 20yo offsider over me (slap), 😢 And my someone just went off at me on the phone 😢😢 & the back 😢😧😕😑
