Carry on

Thank you to all that replied. The pain doesn't bother me. I have quite a high pain tolerance. Just feeling almost like myself is what I want. I have found so many people on the internet that have had the same reaction from Tramadol. I think also, because I have not been taking any SSRI's etc, that my system is finally getting cleaned out of these meds. I am very grateful to have days where there are very few negative thoughts. The other thing that really helped, is some advice from my therapist. I am a fixer, solver of problems that is part of me and I have done everything I can think of to fix this disease. He suggested that I stop trying to fix it and accept it. If I am having a bad day, so be it, better times will come. This is the attitude I carry around now and it helps, as it puts it into context. This allows me to push through when I am down, as I know at some point it will get better, and allows me to enjoy, be grateful for the times that I am not down, suicidal negative thoughts, lethargic etc. I just wish I had a magic wand to relieve any and all suffering that my friends on Health Unlocked are going through, I feel for you. All the best and keep on keeping on. The answer is out there and you will find it and conquer or at least find that you can cope and have a good life. There is so much more to share I mean at 62 and having this since early teens, I have tried a lot. Live, Love, Laugh ..
