The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I know so many of us have read others posts, over and over again about the HORRIBLE pain, insomnia, IBS, ...etc.
But if I dont' talk about this...I AM GOING TO GO INSANE!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I just want to THROW IN THE TOWEL! Also feel so selfish for complaining. But here is the only place I know...where everyone understands.
Last night I even took an ativan to help me sleep....BUT NO!..I have been up for over 4 hours now..and right now it is only 6:30 AM.
Are the nights worse for anyone else? Even if I do happen to fall asleep...when I wake up..immediatly I am in tears..THE PAIN IS SO BAD!..takes me 0ver 5 minutes from laying there to stand up....and then WALK?!?....I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!
Almost feels like a poison running thru my muscles and tendons. A burning excruciating PAIN!!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN COPE WITH THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!
On a good note...my son and his wife just had a baby girl yesterday. That makes 2 grandchildren for me. My grandson is 2 1/2 ...I truely believe they are what makes me want to go on.
Sorry for going on about this....it was either come here and do this...OR....START SCREAMING AND THROWING THINGS!....and I am not that kind of a person at all.
I just want to get back to being LORI again!
Seems I barely remember her. I can no longer do the things I love...dancing, singing, cooking, and work (tending bar)....just to name a few.
Thanks for allowing me to come in here and VENT!!!!
Better days to come...RIGHT?!?!?
Take care...all of you!

Wish I could get more of this thru family and friends...but I guess in a way we all here are family...this has been a safe haven for me.
Thanks again,
Lori
I have just come of a 5 month flare up. Like yourself I felt like throwing in the towel many times, in fact nearly did. Just stuck in bed all that time was doing my head in. It has eased quite a lot now. Am reading again, even went for a small walk yesterday. Looks a bit nippy out today. Will see what tomorrow rings.
Take care.
Love and hugs,

Thinking of you.

We do not what it's like and it isn't fun. It's perfectly okay to start screaming and throwing things! LOL
You may want to continue going to a chiropractor and a Reflexologist. You also probably worked primarily nights and got into a sleep deprivation pattern?
I'm going to sound like a broken record, but what is your B12 level at? Mine was extremely low and now have to take injections.
I was up until 3:00 am making chocolates and bookmarks, so I've got a headache and shoulder ache today. The nerve pain in my arms and legs are gone and my therapy exercises have eased my sciatic and hip pains. I posted the techniques in my photos section. I used to feel like someone shot me in the butt with a gun. Now, nothing.
Please remember that a lot of friends and family will NEVER understand how your body feels but you have us and we know exactly hoe you feel, we are your new FMily and will always be here for you.
Hugs,V
