Lots of hugs <3

I'm sorry it's so tough right now :(
I was in an emotionally similar hole last fall when I had no answers and didn't think things would get better. I felt that running on empty feeling- I was pushing to be heard with my medical team week after week and I ran out of energy. Pain just works its way into every part of your life- sleep, mood, socializing.

I'm hoping you get a break soon from somewhere- something to help with the pain, or depression, or a pause from the lawsuit stuff. It's so impressive that you're dealing with all of that, and it's no wonder you feel exhausted. Sending all my good vibes your way.

sorry friend....hope you get that....it does not seem a big order of requests to make.....hugs bill

I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling that way. I have been having the same issue. It would be nice to be able to take a holiday from our own bodies once in awhile. I hope that things get better for you.

Wouldn't that be nice, like Kelly p said a holiday from our body's pain....
E22, hang in there friend. Maybe one of those things your are fighting will calm down enough to bring down the level of fatigue
. This is by no means fair or what you deserve. Just a peek at the silver lining.

I completely understand your struggle, Eeyore. Chronic debilitating, nerve pain has caused my life all sorts of hell. I try to focus on the day to day to stop feeling so overwhelmed. I find myself saying, "Lets just get through today." sometimes, like nights like tonight, its more, "Lets get through the next hour." As hard as it sound to do, focusing on the immediate has helped me tremendously to stop feeling like I'm drowning. Its so easy to stare at the clock and watch the hours tick past, knowing you should be doing something else. And the stress of worry about the time you are losing can take an even bigger toll on your body, making some pain worse. Believe me. I know that particular cycle all too weloveAt the risk of sounding like a fortune cookie... lets just get through tonight. Knowing you've got hundreds of others just like you, cheering you on, giving you empathy, compassion and love, is sometimes all you need to keep fighting. You got this.

Thank you all for your support. Some days just feel so much harder to get through. I feel alone a lot because I only have a few people that can truly support and help me. I'm trying to get into a healthy routine of walking or hiking and then I want to try swimming to see if it can help. I have a check in with my psychiatrist next week so maybe we'll adjust the meds as well. Again, you all rock and we are all warriors for dealing with chronic pain. Sending hugs back your way!

I understand how you feel.. It seems so difficult to even take a shower sometimes... so exhausting.... I hope you find relief soon.. HUGS

I can relate to exactly every single thing you mentioned. It’s horrible what we are forced to go through every single second of every single day. I am sending you positive thoughts and the strength to endure.
