in the middle of a flare up with my pancreatitus, i could jus bout cut it out grrr

johndbrh1 .... Those are the times I'm glad I live alone. Sometimes regrouping alone is all we have, but regroup you must. Try to remind your family, supportive or not, that this is how YOUR life is at the moment and how it may be for some time to come. Family is family and not all are supportive nor understanding and it falls upon your shoulders to try to educate them. A little understanding goes a long way. Ultimately you need to live with less stress to reduce the amount of pain you're in. Best wishes with your path. :)

i am with you to ratfoof i'm sick of pain, i'm sick of pills, i'm sick of no one understanding, i'm sick of being calles lazy or a faker, i'm sick of dumb docters that dont help. i'm sick of waiting to get into pain clinics that don't want to help i have been to so many of pain management doctors that won't do anything for me grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it makes me so mad that drug addiects get more and better treatment then us

My RA stuff is better, BUT my hipflexor is killing me, got trigger points injections yesterday all around my left shoulder, so I was up all night with that. actually I have the ice bag on my shoulder and neck while im typing. haha
thanks guys

had a stomach but for two days and all of the N and V has my back and legs in agony--people don't understand how throwing up can make it so I can barely walk to the bathroom and back to my recliner--the same thing happens when I have a bug that causes me to cough and sneeze also

makes me angery !

oh denar that sounds so miserable! i hope you feel better!

sandi- i hope you and your icepack feel better, i have the metal pic of you and your icepack typing lol you poor thing.,

to everyone who has posted on this thread feel better and hugs

in chronic- how many pain clinics have you been too? im glad you understand where i'm comming from. i hear it takes a few tries to find a good pain doc , i hope you find a good one, they are out there, i'm gonna keep on trying untill i can find one.

I can sure relate to all you in so much pain. I hurt all the time. But made it wrose today bt cleaning my home. I can't stand it when it is not clean and can't afford to have someone clean it for me. So here I sit with back spasms that the pain meds don't touch. So I will use my ice pack for the afternoon. I am so sorry all of you are hurting so bad. Here is wishing you less pain today! Thank goodness, hubby is not home to see my tears.

i have been to 3 or 4 pain doctor not one would help me

are you seriouse in chronic? yikes, i got two booked up over the next two months i'm hopeing i don't have to go to more, i probably will though giving the reputations of the ones i'm going too.

i hear it takes about 4-7 tries to find a good pain doc for us. we should keep on truckin.
