Back Pain Support Group

It's sick that those who evaluate (or worse, fail to evaluate) and publish all these opiate related deaths, and alleged damage to society don't publish people who have decided to end their life due to undertreated pain.

Dreamtime,
I am glad that you went to the ER and that you are here with us.... Did you medication issue got straighten out? Were you able to get the type of medications that will allow you to do a few of the things that you like to do?
Honey, if you didn't, then is time to look for a good pain management Doctor that will treat you ASAP! I think that because you are feeling down and out, you need to find yourself a good compassionate Psychologist, one that you can go and talk to about your feelings and about how low you feel right now

I am seeing a Psychologist, and she has helped me bunches! So please, get a group of Doc's together that can treat you as a whole, as the whole person with all of the issues that you have! And also find a good pain management Doctor, that is going to give you the medications for you to live a normal life.

Don't give up! Giving up is too easy, and is the easy way out!!! Fight for yourself, for your family and for those of you that love you. Committing suicide is NOT the answer to your problems! That is the easy way out and the selfish way out! because you will rob from everyone the joy to have you around them.

Make it your mission next week to find the Doctor, therapist, etc. that is going to make you feel better, OK?

Never,EVER, surrender!!!!! xoxoxoxo Tipper

where i live we dont have pain mangerment clinics, but saying that my GP and my diabetic DR are the most caring i have come across and i feel like i have done the rounds with the hospital.
i was just giving a senaditive to knock me out once the extra morphine was out of system. the next day my fentanyl was reviewed as to where to put the patch and how to keep it on. the blood test showed that it was low and i was only a day in on 100mc/hr.
im waiting for a gastic by pass operation then hopefully pray pls pray that it will put my back in place even with odds 90 agaqinst it im praying it will help.
i had a grt counsellor but due to my panic attacks about going out and the pain and not knowing what time or how i would feel we cancelled it for now.though i can on her books asap once i feel up to it. she wanted to come to my home but i felt like that would take my last safe place away.
my mental health nurse and team help me but i hate ringing out of hours hence 245am now sat here.i always think others are in more need of help than i am so i dont ring.
this time of year is my worse i HATE christmas with a passion pls dont me wrong the meaning of christmas i love and hold dear to my heart but the family happiness i cant cope with at all. i want to sleep till mid jan so my birthday is slept away to sorry im ranting away now

dreamtime,

We are here for you to rant. We pray for you and for one other. And I hear a core of some strength in you that you DO protest the way things are.

Believe me, things can change unexpectedly for the better. Things you have said and done that you don't even remember may have helped someone immensely.

Hang in there, and don't be ashamed if you feel weak, or afraid, you're only a man. That's all you're expected to be.
