Hello Vivmoon,
I think everyone understand and your not being whining. It sucks to have to be restricted when people around you can walk fine and doing things that you could so recently do and now can't. It is really hard. I have fibro somedays I have ok day and I have done more than I should and made me hurt really bad because of it. i got really sad today when i was going home in my medicab seeing all the places I used to walk to eat and all the shops and young college kids. i remembered being them. Being able to go for walks and get togethers and I felt so bad eventhough I have had fibro for ten years or so. Please don't be so hard on yourself. I have to make sure when I exerxise that I don't do too much. I have to build up to a not even normal amount that other people don't even see as exercise and I can barely do. Please feel free to vent. We all do it. It a save place to do it cause we have all felt the same way. I am so sorry you have just begun chronic pain. I hope that it is something that can be resolved through meds or a surgery. if not well this is a chronic pain sight so I welcome you . This is a very positive site here. I chose it over my fibro site. I just like the people more. hi guys. lol I have seen you before. If you are new just write a topic. I am new say what you want and that will make us aware we have someone new. We love to say Welcome to all of out new members. I hope you are feel alright if not give a shout our. This hi I need a hug thing I don't believe is ever going to stop. We all check in on people in morning or when you can to find out how others are doing and to ask for a hug if we need one too. Hope to see you soon.

Welcome, vivmoon. Your presence almost slipped by me. I must not have checked this thread, yesterday. It was one of my worst days and I was so stressed with having to give in to the pain and not finish my workday.

If you start your own thread and tell us all about yourself, you will be flooded with welcomes! Everyone here knows pain and depression so you have found the perfect place to settle in.

It was in the 20s yesterday morning and is supposed to climb into the 70s for the next couple days...no wonder my body is screaming!

Wishing you all a comfortable weeked with joy and blessings.

Welcome, vivmoon!

I know you will find caring people on this board. I do hope you have a good doctor, and that you find relief soon. You may be in a flare.

Good Morning All !!
I had my left side RFA, so far not having a reaction like the first half, still uncomfortable, Pdoc did put steriods in this time, I think that has made a big difference. I do have great pain relief, except from the procedure. So maybe by a week or so. I will be in a good place.

I want to thank all of you for your support!! you guys rock :)

I just love hearing some of the good news! I hope maybe someday soon we can All have good news.

Blessings to All Rhonda

Good Morning All,

It's another great day in NC. A little cool this morning, but into the 70's today.

I am feeling OK this morning and I hope you all have a great day!!

Hugs,
David.

I feel much better today. I had a beautiful day yesterday... I took a chairlift up and down a mountain and it was glorious! The weather is warmer, my back is better, and I'm even feeling sociable. I dropped in on some friends yesterday and got invited to stay for supper. It's amazing how wonderful it feels to be with people when the pain is bearable. (especially when the pain isolates you for a long time).
I wish everyone a beautiful weekend and a warm welcome to vivmoon.

I am exhausted from pain and pain meds. I need a hug then a cold glass of water thrown in my face! :)

HI all... hoping everyone is having the lowest possible pain level today... and sending comforting hugs and positive energy for anyone who is in need of them.
Take care... Gaye... xxx

44 more days

I was so looking forward to going golfing alone with my 15 year old son but I have an 8 and drugs are not working. I'm sitting here wondering if I should wake him and fake it and go. I have Thanksgiving dinner at my sisters tonight and I could fade away and suffer there. She'll think me rude for not helping more.

Precious moments with my son = greater pain later.

I think 'll load up on the drugs and wake him.

If she thinks you're rude for not helping more, SHE's the rude one.

Have fun golfing.

I truly appreciate all the positive and kind comments everyone made. It has made me feel less alone. I was a teacher for twenty years and worked as a mental health worker for nine years before that. I retired in January of this year and was healthy at that time. A couple of months later, I developed this painful condition and have been struggling with it since then. Your positive outlooks and bravery inspires me to cope with this disease. Camping and hiking with my husband and dogs used to be my favorite activity. All that has changed now. God Bless You All and thanks for making me feel welcome. I'm not very comfortable with communicating in this medium, but I really appreciate the support.

Went golfing and we had a great time. Its a memory I will hold for a long time. But I am hurting so bad right now. Heavens but it's a bad one. Went to my sisters and that was torture but my sister was oddly kind about it and suggested I lie down. My brother in law mentioned I didn't look so good and my sister actually got protective. (this is very unlike her). She teared up and said I really care about you. I was shocked because she hasn't been very nice in the past!

I should be in bed. Love to you all.

Enigma...how wonderful to hear that your Sister came through for you! Sometimes we expect the worst and are pleasantly surprised....love when that happens!

I have a Sister who would stand on her head in the middle of Main St. if she thought it would relieve my pain. I am so blessed to have her.

I'm having a particulary difficult time this morning. My legs aren't wanting to work. I'm not asking that much of them, either!

Wishing all of you a day with little pain and huge blessings,
Cherry

Thanksgiving day here in Canada so I just wanted to check in and thank each and every one of you for being here for me with all your support and love and friendship. I don't know what I'd do without my DS friends. Today I am thankful for all of you.
Gentle hugs and peace,
Lisa

Happy Thanksgiving to you Lisa. I agree DS is great support. May you day go well.
Hugs
Janie
