Feel really down

Really fed up today, nasty pain last night and its not great today but I have a lot of pressure and numbness. Feel like rubbish on all these pills. Is there any end to all this? Vile medication or vile surgery, what a nice choice we have. Sorry for being so down, you know how it is when pain has been constant. Someone give me some hope please!

Hi Nat…
Sorry i aint one to give u much hope but i do know what ur going through.i am inpain most of the day and when i aint in pain the pills make me feel like im in a cloud where i cant think or talk clearly.I hate living like this and wouldnt wish this on anyone.I told my doc the other day has to be more out there to help me besides being in pain or being on these meds and not being myself.Sorry i cant give u much hope but do know that u aint alone with this nasty awful pain…Hope ur feeling somewhat pain freeHUGS

Hi Nat,
I am sorry you are having such a bad time. Try other medicines. I hope you are able to find a med that works and one that has side effects that you can tolerate.

Hi Nat…I hate the meds too…we all do…Here is a HUG !!! all the way from San Diego…

I haven’t been on lately or I would have responded sooner. I opted to not feel like a zombie. It is not for much of anyone to go my route. I pray alot! For every second that I have pain…I am given some glimmer of hope and love. While there are times that I can honestly say if I was alone with this I wouldn’t be here. I would have given up already. However, I believe in every part of my being that this is happening for a reason. Maybe it is because of how all of this came about for me…I don’t know. It really doesn’t matter though. Because I will not leave a legacy of a quitter no matter how bad this gets. I have to many people that it would damage if I did. So, when it gets really bad and it does, I focus on what I can have and what I can do. It always works…I focus on the good in my life…I focus on who loves me…and who needs me to be strong. For when it is hard for me to focus…I have a list of things to do and say that helps me. You are in my prayers…and there is a rainbow out there some where…we just have to find the thing. :slight_smile:
