Re: not coping

It is hard to trudge through at times @outlander It takes up so much energy at times.

Hoping your pain levels decrease a little hon, especially if you have to go into work.

Re: not coping

just surviving seems to take up so much energy @Snowie but i know you understand that sis

my eyes are inflamed atm so im getting alot of headaches and vision problems. ive got eye drops that i started yesterday so im hoping itll start to kick in soon and work.
if i dont look at screens for too long, be in bright lights and have to move or bend over at all i should be ok but the nature of my work generally involves all of that

Re: not coping

Understand @outlander

I hope the eye drops start to help you. It would be hard to avoid all of that especially at work.

Re: not coping

ive just been really busy with my studies and work and trying to get ready for an intense 10 day treatment coming up in early december.

ive also been having issues with my heart so im undergoing some tests to try and work out whats happening. i have 6 tests and another appointment over the next 2 weeks.
