This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
I've been trying for a while now today to think of a " goal for today".
My pain is surprisingly not bad for a day three of patch.
I slept a little better than usual last night.
It seems those crazy-making pains in my face were helped by my spinal injections last week..
......the drift here being that...all-in-all...my world is OK right now.
And, I AM extremely grateful to have that unlivable pain eased.
Sooooo.....why have I felt all morning like taking a sleeping pill and going back to bed?
I started to get all bummed about feeling this way. But...upon consideration..
Dang...this is an exhausting way to live. I think the body..mind...spirit...all get TIRED from it all.
Sooo....I'm getting off my case about not turning cart-wheels for feelin' a little better.
I'm going to RELAX. For all the doing-of-nothing that pain forces me into...there's been little rest...know what I mean? I BET you do..:-)
Anyone else?
Luv n hugs to all...jc

i'm working on the letter - THE letter which is just exhausting. i feel like i'm in grade school talking to the principal, which btw i never did.
don't do anything beyond your means. i think that's a fair and decent goal.
No rope required...this is not the dark hole....I don't put smilies on those.:-) :-)
But..yeh...you could toss me some pudding. :-) I'm hoping it's in a container?
Good luck with that letter..hugs
Take this time to RELAX. You definitely deserve it!
baby steps.....
Hugs,
Carrie
I'm so glad the epidural is doing it's job...hope and pray your's lasts as long as mine!!!!! I've gotten 2 yrs. and more after a series!!
Rest sounds like a capital idea....going to pull out my own heating pads and ice packs and kick back!!!
You just relax and ENJOY!!! OK??
Take gentle care everyone and feel better soon!!!!
Today is a THREE patch day for me. Don't know why. Weather is good and T-storms are passed, yet, here we are a three patch day.
Funny thing........ I don't use patches!
What am I going to do????
Glad that others are hanging in with the pain. Sorry that you are feeling just as bad as me today.
I was just reading about EFT Therapy which is based on a theory that our discomforts both physical and psychological are caused by disruptive electrical charges in our nervous system. The therapy teaches you to repeat certain affirmative statements while pressing on areas within what they call the Meridian Paths in our bodies which I believe is where the electricity of pain is transmitted.
Chakras and even chiros believe basically the same thing only they use different terminology and techniques. That is the basis of trigger point therapy.
Any pudding left?
i did meet one goal - have the rice and black beans on - that will really be a mess - hot mess.
i'm about to crawl down, too, so i'll just load up a bucket. anything else before i use the last of my energy to slide?
( we'll..we need the other kind...but..Pudding's pudding...I'll find a way..:-)
