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

Hey @Owlunar2 .. Oh mate... So I guess you have to recover and re book the holiday. Darn..

My holidays revolve around my stomach. I was going to mention the Tasmanian scallops, but that wouldn't be good form would it, Oh, ooops.. Well it'll give them a bit more time to fatten up.

I will be thinking about you on Thursday, no B.S either.. When I read about your teeth, I have to unpick my finger nails out of the couch afterwards. You have had an absolute shocker mate.

I used to see people engaged in, Do it yourself surgery, when I lived on the street. No mater how hard, I always looked my teeth. I used to think if I ever lost a tooth, so long as someone is'nt walking of with it in there knuckles, I'm doing Ok. And now all these years later, I just grin, and my T bone hides under the plate..

The Anthracene. You make me wish I went to school.. I think I had a few periods, just like the planet.

The Young. I couldn't care less. The Middle . . . I cared to much. . . The Old . . . slipping back into the methane shrouded apathetic ooze.. Honestly, I know I shouldn't do it all the time. but finding a funny side to things keeps me shiny side up.

And, I have a lot of faith in young kids. They are so much smarter than I could ever hope to be, and I just have to believe, they will take us to the stars.

I'm saying a prayer for you on Thursday. Rare for me, I know, but, Thats how I know it'll work..
