Woke in terrible pain today and really depressed.
Why don't we ever catch a break

Good morning everyone.

I hurt so bad today, it is hard to beleive I was normal yesterday. I ate all the right foods and did all the right things and the monster returns just the same. I should be glad for the occassional day inbetween.

I took manny's advise and emailed to see the Neuro sooner on the pretext that I now have Graves and it is holding up treatment and the migraines have worsened. Almost begged but I wanted to enter with my dignity.

((((((((Hugs to you all, my friends))))))) Hope you are fareing better today.

Seems to be the theme today, I woke in more pain than usual too. For me I'm sure its the rain that came overnight and supposed to last all day today. I'll work on it the same as every other day, exercise, eat the right stuff, go for a walk if the rain lets up.

Big gentle hugs SunnyBunn & Enigma... and everyone else that needs them. Take care of yourself, you're the only you we've got.

Afternoon is a little better

I finally have hope again, I have been mostly house bound all summer, its finally cooling off a bit here and just got released from cardio doc, get to do normal stuff again, now I can work on pain issues again. I feel so much better emotionaly.

Good Afternoon,

I had to go into work for a few hours this morning, but I'm back in my favorite spot............the couch.

Sorry we got a few of us not doing so good. I hope it doesn't hang on too long. I also see some doing OK. Either way, the cup is half full.

I'm doing OK today. Had one little mishap. My wife stopped the car at the end of the driveway, I opened the door, got out to get the recycle bins, but as I was standing there talking to her the door swung shut and the edge of it hit me directly in my upper spine. Ouch!! Feeling better now. I don't think I messed up my SCS electrode paddle, but boy did it hurt.

Enough about me. How is everybody else doing??

Hugs,
David.

My goodness David, that sounds painful! Dang, of all places to. Hope your feeling ok or at least better. Almost took a fall few days ago coming into garage, it was pouring rain, had slippers/sandles on n stepped onto lg. pc. of cardboard laying on concrete, felt like I was on an ice rink skating, caught myself just in time. Had I actually hit the cocrete, heck, don't even want to think of it.
The fatigue is pretty bad this aft., pain is under control for most part.
Extra prayers going out/up for Doreen.
love,hugs n prayers to all.XXXXX

I'm feeling pretty low today. I'm trying all sorts of homeopathic remedies, taking lots of supplements, only had a couple hours of work...

Every inch of my body is throbbing and I'm terribly discouraged with my life.

I was just remembering one of Mother's famous lines intended to belittle anything we were dealing with as children. "There's always sombody worse off".

So I'll remember what Doreen is facing today and stop my whining, now

David, I hope that bang with the door doesn't become too painful. I find things like that often hit me the next day. Take it easy.

I was sore this morning but decided to just go on with my day. I sewed a curtain for my bf but couldn't get the second one done, I was in too much pain. Then had my son take me and my laundry to the laundromat. I loaded the washer and emptied it but son did all the lifting and I'm in worse pain now anyway. I'm trying to hang it to dry but just doing a few items at a time then taking a rest. What alot of work for something so simple that I used to do without thinking.

Hope everyone is having a nice evening. Hugs, Lisa

storms passed, much better now!

Wishing everyone less pain today

Good Morning,

We are finally having some nice summer weather hope I can enjoy a bit of it today. I do have some running around and inside cleaning but when I am done and if I am up for it I am going to do some gardening for a couple of hours. I really need the fresh air for sure

Hope every one has a low pain day

Inside cleaning. Wish I felt up to that. I love a clean house.

Good Morning Everybody,

I woke up feeling a little more pain than usual...........maybe the car door.......DUH!! All in all, I'm doing OK. My mind is free, my body is doing what it usually does, but I will not let it get me down.

Chronic pain is such a taker. This thread can give you a chance to blow off some steam.......do it. We're here.

Have a great day.

David.
