Hi I am the BITCH!!!! I can't help it. I am in pain. I try to be nice, but it feels like I am stuck in a torture chamber. I go back and forth off and on my meds. I hate meds, but I had to take my Lyrica the other day. It did help some, but I am a mother. I have to drive the kids, but I am a BITCH also. I try not to spend to much time with the kids because the pain is so bad, and I don't want to complain to them or seem too bitchy. I ask them to help around the house because I can't do things, they won't, I complain, and I end up being the BITCH. I am in so much pain all they do is hear me complain about the pain. I want to be differn't. I want to cook good family meals and be a good mother, but instead I am a BITCH. The pain is winning, and I am loosing. Any advice?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have been pretty grumpy lately with change in weather, pain, etc.
You're not alone. Try to keep it consistent with your pain meds. If you don't want to be "high" and able to function, talk to your doctor about trying this. It is the magic bullet for me when I want non-narcotic relief: 2-Tyelnol Arthritis WITH 800mg. Ibuprofen.
You can safely mix the two, according to several of my doctors. I just max them out both in one shot and can be relatively pain free most of the day.
This is "have to" situation and not my regular, everyday drug thereapy. Maybe every other day or every couple of days.
I was eating ibuoprofen like candy and my doctor made me stop thinking it was causing GI problems. He said, if I need it, take it, but not on a regular basis. So, I figure once a day every other day fit that description.
Hope you can get some reflief.
Chronic pain can make us bitchy. Trying not to take things out on everyone around us isn't easy. Being miserable & bitchy all the time is hard on your kids. If taking all of your meds regularly doesn't help, you really should talk to your doctor.
Good luck.
