This is my not so subtle way of inviting everyone to a whinefest with me. :-)

Sure..it's not productive and changes nothing..
But..neither us anything else I'm able to do today. :-) :-)
( frustrated because I want t do some Spring cleaning that I'm not up to)

Thanks for the empathy, Michael..
Of course you know how I feel..
That's why we're all here..:-) :-)

Hugzzzz

Maybe that is a sign...we can not say UNCLE..we can NOT give in!

So instead we give them h**l!

Yeh..no..
This isn't that thread.

JC you could always come over to my helping with the housework group have a rant there about how you want to but cannot do your cleaning and someone there will relate and maybe help your head wrap around that this is not the time to clean?

it might give you some solace to know others are in same boat....I hear your screaming....!!!!

Thanks for the invite to the whinefest, JC. It's just that kind of day for me, too. Lots of things I need and want to do, but my pain is just slapping me back down.

And it's cold and rainy here today too. That must be a sign that I'm supposed to lay on the couch and read all day.

Yup, we know how you feel.

I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired. This pain has been spiking for over 3mo now. Add the migraine that moved in a few days ago, and together they're making me physically ill.

I had tests done last month to figure out what's changing with my spine, because the pain is changing & getting deeper & sharper. It's also moving into places it wasn't before. Neuro hasnt reviewed them yet and its been over a month. Why must I battle with people I pay to do their jobs?? Urgh!

I can't sit or stand for more than a few minutes. I can barely hold my head up because my neck hurts. I feel like someone is kicking me in the head with steel-toed boots. My feet are so swollen they hurt just sitting much less walking. Nothing is helping. Not the change in RA meds. Not the increase in pain meds. Nothing.

Tomorrow is Easter and I haven't gotten my kid a single thing for his basket. Granted he's 14, but you're never too old for an Easter basket full of goodies. It's tradition. Tired of the guilt this pain seems to bring with it.

I'm gonna take another dose of meds & inhale some coffee to see if the caffeine helps kick the meds into gear. I have to get some sleep before I collapse (then it'll be yet another "lost" day). Less than 2hrs a night for the last few nights isn't cutting it. Being stabbed & kicked all night doesnt make for restful sleep. Migraines & pain exhaust me more than working a 12hr day. It takes more energy than I have to fight this pain lately.

No whining isn't productive & it doesn't solve anything. But it sure feels good to let it out sometimes. Otherwise it just bounces around your brain & makes you crazy. Thanks for letting me ramble & vent. Lord knows nobody in this house wants to hear it. They've made zoning me out an artform ;-)

I hope everyone has a happy day tomorrow whatever your plans are.

Thanks for the invite, MrBill..
But..I can't keep u with thgroups I'm already in.
Lynn and Emerald..
Thanks for joining me.
It's a relief to say how you're REALLy feeling sometimes, isn't it?

Hugs all

I am sorry you are having a rough time + a million.

I feel like s##t and each hour is just getting worse.

I do have the doctors telling me, and now my husband, that I am not allowed to do housework at all, and no cooking. So if the house is a mess and the kitchen burns down, it is not my fault. LOL

Venting is good. ((((Hugs))))) all around.

Rj..
It is SO good to hear that your husband is telling you not to do things you shouldn't be doing. He finally seems to understand.
Sorry you're having a rough time + a million, too, bud.
Hugs

JC if my husband agreed that, it would be a miracle!!!!

No, what I meant was that the doctors are telling him. He is almost 70, he was willing to have a caregiver come in if the insurance paid for it, but if he had to pay for it, forget it. Nope I have to figure something out.

Life is just a box of chocolates :)

Sorry, Rj..
I guess that was too good to be true.

JC,

I hear you my purple fuzzy footed friend. All I wanted to do this weekend was get a few freaking plants in some pots...but it had to rain and the barometric pressure has to start bouncing up and down....

between the migraines and the damn legs not working and having to spend most of the weekend in the bathtub boiling my joints...i've accomplished absolutely nothing. and for the last 2 nights i've not managed to go to sleep until around 7:30 in the morning....

i'm having an uncle weekend too...then some idiot sent me an email with the, "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" crap...was so not in the mood for that, and pretty sure won't hear from that person again because the reply was not so nice at 4:30 this morning...

it's days like these that I really, really wish I could drink!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

Hugs, Stephanie

Hiya Stephanie.

Kat..
I'm sorry your day got so hard.
Sometimes that which doesn't kill you just makes you wish it would.

I hope everyone feels some degree of better tomorrow.

Hugs
jc
