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

Thanks @Zoe7

It feels emotional that all the people in the family when I was born have gone - because my grandparents were migrants there could be others overseas but I don't know about them

The funeral was beautiful - I was the only one of my uncle's niece and nephews present - the rest are interstate or over seas but my niece was there

I am okay now but I did have a few moments - naturally

It's great to see you here

Oh @Owlunar2

anniversaries and funerals definitely hard yards.

memories can be beautiful or also difficult

you are also down to earth…. Hope your tooth is better

I need to book in to dentist

I have been away and not online much

i did visit a church in Sydney and a park with childhood memories

We keep doing that…. Putting of one foot in front of the other…

take care

Hi @Appleblossom @outlander

@Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Adge

I do drop in and look around a bit from time to time but - alas - find it hard to respond for whatever reason

The title of this thread - yes - pain is a fact of life and I consider that at least it reminds me that I'm alive and my life is interesting

Apple - I have nearly finished reading "The Women's Room" - now that's a painful read - I have read it before but I declare - never again - however - I respect it

Adge - I have lots of suburban birds visiting my backyard - magpies - doves - larks - blackbirds - noisy minors etc

I think of you often when I see them

Shaz - Zoe - Outlander - I love you - I think you are all the reason I look in - my own life has moved on - still you are all still there
