Not a serious one today- sure there are days that suck, today, nope.
I dont feel all that bad, physically or mentally-yah! I have kept myself busy by …
I hope you are doing well with your new doc.
Thanks for the sweet hug. I am having a really hard time right now, but I know there will be better days ahead :) Besides, I love the holidays too much. Please take care.
Hi sweety! I hope your doing well.
Just wanted to give you a hug today. Having a really bad day. But I am waiting on referrals to a new pain doc and the UC Neuro clinic. Hope you are doing well.
Words of encouragement: "You are not Alone"
My pain struggle began with severe endometriosis,sinus problems, degenerative disc disease and headaches. Most recently had foot surgery for bunion/hammertoes(damned high heels!)still have the other foot to undergo. About a year ago had a botched GYN surgery which caused my intestines to eviscerate, the list is too tedious to go into. Like many, I am undertreated for my pain. Since coming to DS after having to stop my business I am determined to fight the newest restrictions proposed by the FDA
I have had endometriosis for over 20 years which caused me to be infertile(tubal reasons)
I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and have scoliosis. I am on 41 years old and dont want to live in so much pain with two small children.
my 13 yr old daughter is being taken over by OCD. I am here trying to help her cope with what she is going through.
I never felt loved by my mother as a child and then at the age of 14, she left our family for the man she was having an affair with. She left to another country and left me with my suicidal father and two older brothers. 4 years later I started speaking to her again and the whole incident of her leaving was never spoken about. We had been cordial this way for years until recently when she abandoned me when I needed her-had life threatening accident & she dumped me yet again
medical trauma and subsequent emotional trauma directly tied to the incident-too painful to write about today :(
I had started my own business and have had to stop because of chronic pain and health issues which has devistated our family finances
I have DDD and am happy to see there is a group for this here
