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

Thanks @Shaz51

I have been ill - I was in a private general hospital for a week - my nutrition was failing because of my dental surgery - no bottom teeth - it was just so hard to eat - I have always looked after myself so this was bad

I developed an infection around one of the implants and after 36 hours of not being able to eat anything or take my medication I went to the ED - I had IV fluids - pain medication- anti nausea stuff and antibiotics - I was allergic ro the antibiotics

I have been home for two weeks today and still recovering on a limited diet - I am seeing the oral surgeon next week

I haven't felt up to even reading the forums - such is life - it has been rough - I am resting and reading a lot

All the best everyone

Hi @Owlunar2

So sorry to hear about your dental issues. I have one implant and can imagine the pain of an infection. EEEK!

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hugs to you

Thanks @hanami

That kind of pain is no fun - that's for sure

I'm not sorry I've had this done but never again - whew

Actually it was good that my daughter and I are talking time out right now - this event was not something I would have enjoyed criticism or cheering up - it was unpleasant

I am resting in bed atm - it's really cold in Melbourne today - and I have a good book

Hello @Shaz51

Sounds like you had a loooong drive today. Yikes. And in the heat too. It's been raining on and off for over a week where I am. Not sure what happened to El Nino haha. Everything feels so soggy today.

Hope you've been getting some nice rest.

Hanami
