Chris your pain has to be terrible, but the mental pain is terrible too isn't it? We can't always control our physical pain, but we can control that mental pain. It's not easy to do, but talk to yourself as you would one of your loved ones. What would you tell them to do? You would try everything possible to calm them down and to get them to just rest. Give this to yourself.
Talk to your dr about anti-anxiety meds for moments like these. They will help you settle down and be more restful. I have them and also asked my dr for extra anti-depressants for those extra stressful moments. It does help.

Many blessings and relief to you,
Toni

o god I am so sorry! I remember talking to you early on and I am sad to hear you are doing so poorly health wise. I hope you feel better soon!

Kris,

I know all too well the feeling of despair you are in right now. Sometimes giving up seems like a viable solution to end your misery, but when you think about all the repercussions of that on your family it is no longer an appealing solution. I believe you know that already.

The mere fact that you reached out here with this post is exemplary of your strength and determination not to give up. Just know that even the stongest of us need a little help here and there. This cannot be done alone.

I agree with the others about talking to your doc for additional and/or increases in your meds. Also, talking to a counselor experienced with chronic pain would be a great outlet for you.

I hope you find your way through this soon. You need your self to deal with this for your family and your self.

Hugs,
Sis

I don't know what more I can say Kris....so I will just keep you in my prayers.

Kris, I don't know you very well, cuz I don't get on here everyday. But I can tell a lot from a person's picture and the way they write. I know you're one courageous and very caring man.

The others have said such important things to you. I will just say "amen" to all that's been said. I will also do the best thing I know to do: pray for you!

I pray that you realize how loved and cared for you are: by God, your family, and your friends here.

Blessings to you....ELizabeth

He's not giving up. Kris is a fighter he just got fed up with all the pain and dislocations that keep happening.

I'm sending out some special prayers for Kris. If we all pray for him and each other things will calm down eventually.

God bless you and get some extra rest Kris. We need you here too.
