Unfortunately, that is like having appendicitis and telling doctirs you only want to get some pains meds without treating the underlying problem. No doctor is going to accept those terms.

Until you get treatment fir the underlying psych issues, no amount of pain Med is going to stop your pain.

What are you afraid of specifically. Part of.your.problem is these vague generalized fear. Is it possible le you are afraid you will have to leave the.pain crutch behind. Right now it is your.evidence against those who harmed you.
But crutches caused problems over a lifetime of use.

Let go.of.the fear you are trapped.in and learn to be free, learn to have control over life instead of.life.controlling you all the time.

Tabby,

Where are you hurting sweetheart? Is it the same area...in your pelvis that you were hospitalized for or something different? Where are you now hun? I haven't seen you in a while. I am sorry you are in so much pain you cannot sleep. This is unacceptable! I am glad they are willing to try a different medication. Try this new medication; give it a try and know in the meantime; I, along with many others are here to support you through this. I am sorry you are not doing well right now. Please know that I am here for you and you are not going through this alone.

You see, our minds can make our pain worse, so maybe start there, love Susie x

hi tabby, i hope things start to look up for you now so that you can begin to heal (((hugs)))

i dont know you but im hoping you get the help you need...take the dr's advice and trust them...

I thought that it was out of your hands now and you had to go to Psych because of an incident at home.....

You know the Mental Health Boards on here are really good, lots of great folks that are really supportive and know what your going through. If you've never checked them out, why don't you give them a try???

I am in the anxiety group, and what you're dealing with has a lot to do with anxiety. As SunnyBunn and everyone else has added, the fear needs to be expressed, and managed so you can work through the medical conditions.

Learning what creates the pain with anxiety often gives relief due to the release of the fear of the pain that is associated with anxiety.

Anxiety is real, it is painful, and it can be treated. It does require working with your brain and your body together to help reduce the impact of anxiety spikes to normal daily living activities.

You are not alone in this. Best wishes.

I am going to go get help for my other issues But I am not going to do it until they get my pain under control I have sores on my legs now My whole body huts I cant deal with my other issues until they get my pain under control

Just a thought from my Heart to Yours. Years ago I had a ulcer, constantly breaking out in hives and had constant tremors throughout my entire body. I felt like i would fall to pieces at any moment. My pain was also through the roof. I thought it was my pain causing all this distress and went to a counsellor who work with chronic pain sufferers (my docs wouldn't help me either). In a few sessions she help me to uncover some of my buried past and I was able to work through a lot of that trauma. I started to notice, first my hives went away and then my belly stared to feel better and using Aloe juice, it healed right up. The tremors remained up until 7 years ago when I got real serious and honest with myself in dealing with my past. My pain still remains, but now I'm much more mentally stronger and I'm able 95% of the time to not let it get the best of me. Those steps I took back then were scary and yes painful at times, yet now I can live life without those many "chains" adding to the burden. Still have some I'm dragging, but we're not done healing yet. Those were the best steps I have taken for myself and I had to take those steps for me since I was soo tired of feeling miserable. Hopes this helps, Blaine

Tabby ,
I am glad to hear from you but as you know stress can cause all kinds of problems in our bodies. It can cause pain in our stomaches, make us nauseated, it can cause sleeping problems. It is amazing what stress can do to your body. I know you have a lot to deal with your emotional isssues and your physical issues. But I think if you can get your emotional ones under control then they can work on your chronic pain issues. You need to rely on the Lord , I know you are a religious girl otherwise I would not say this. Read your bible and pray hard. Look up your issues of pain, for headaches, back aches leg pain, Look up your abuse issues there are scriptures for everything. I know that I had to handle my stress before I could handle my pain. Other wise the stress controls the pain. Are you still taking your pain meds or are you only on pysch meds right now. Good luck, your are not alone . We are all with you . bye for now isabee

Good luck with the doctors. I know how hard it is to sleep and function while trying to live with chronic pain, everything can just seem over whelming sometimes can't it. I hope you get some new or different meds to make the pain at least bearable.

Take care.
