This truely is a wonderful group.Theres so much we can share with one another and it never fails, someone will undoubtly come up who has same issues. What a blessing it is to share whats on our hearts w/o fear of being shot down or criticized. Today I feel good. Slept well and pain level is under control. For me it's really a matter of watching "what" I do... bending,lifting and turning and also noticed eating healthy has been beneficial in keeping inflammation somewhat under control.(The weather isn't something any of us can do anything about,it triggers joint/arth.,muscle pain something awful.)Thanks to all who share, knowing we are not alone really makes a difference.

Hello... I'm leaving lots of gentle hugs and warm smiles here for whoever is in need of some.
For anyone that is new here in the cp group, or who is just reading and not posting, please add onto this topic and say hi. Just a few lines to let us know who you are and why you have pain is a good start. We like to welcome new people to the group, but we can't do that if we don't know you are here.
Hope all you cpers in the northern hemisphere have a good, minimal pain day. It's past my bedtime so I better head off there now.
Take care all... Gaye... xxx

Feeling okay for a change. I can put vigor in my work and jump in my step.

Sending everyone love and strength while I have it.

A wish to end all suffering

@ 11longyears - That really means a lot. thank you. He's not coming back but that is ok. I have enough drama in my life right now. It still hurts like hell though.

Hugs

I feel the worst I have in a long time.

Boy, the stuff about dads really hits home. I have Celiac. dad constantly brings gluten into my home because some d*m nurse at a roller skating rink told him that little bits can't hurt me.

I feel unloved and uncared for and like a worthless person to him.
I hate feeling like I have to put him out of my house BUT Celiac will kill me and I deserve to live.

What is wrong with this man? I just don't understand how anyone could be so selfish and self centered.
Wish I had a dad who loved me!

Hey Everybody,
It's so nice to be here. I think we all need each other. I'm sorry some of us aren't doing as well as we have, but I think we'll get through it with each others kindness and understanding. It's great to be able to say........I know.

I've had a long day at work and I'm beat. I rely on this group for support.

Thanks to all who have posted today. I've read them all and I wish all of you well.

Let's keep this going!!!

David.

Today is a better day the virus has finally run its course For all who don't know me I have had chronic pain or intractable pain however u wan to say for 15 plus yr I was dx with lupus ostearthritis rheumotoid arthritis migraines I also have hep c which i contracted through a blood transfusion in the process of trying to get my grandcildren from youngest daughter she is a good mother untill she goes on a drinking binge which is now coming more frequent . My hussband is grilling he is a grillmaster I glad my stomach feels better

a Paulina- my family came over today for a visit and I stood for a while and also laid on the couch. It was really relaxing and I guess I'm the only one who thought it was odd to visit while laying down on the couch. Sometimes at night. My fears well up, what if yes, what if that and I remember my friends DS and start thinking about taking each day at a time and each hour at a time. If needed. I'm taking heavy pain meds and they only take the edge off, a do not knock it down to a three level. I'm getting an MRI on Monday and a visit to the PM doc on Wednesday to look at it and possibly change my medication. I read cc book and I love the concept, but the implementation looks daunting. I'm hoping my wife and read it and help me with the implementation. I hired a new assistant today and I hope she can take a lot of the pressure off me and operating my residential real estate management company. I also had a wonderful time last night with my 13-year-old daughter. We had dinner and a movie together and I just love her so. I just hope I can keep it together and provide for my family. Enough take care
hugs to everybody
Hank

I really really need a hug. :(

Kallie

Hugs to everyone! I don't get on here often as I have RSD in my arms/hands and just about every other place. This makes it hard to type.

I just wanted to pop in here and give my support and tell all of you to hang in there. I know it's hard to live in constant pain, but look on the bright side we all have each other!

Many Blessings,
Toni

i need a hug for momma. the struggling food stamp, waiting on ssdi, momma. who can barely lift her baby.

i need an,"you don't suck" hug.
