Neverending Story

Ive suffered from chronic pain for over 20yrs and I'm in a really bad spell.I know it'll pass - back to it's usual level anyway - but I'm getting really low with it. It eats away at you like a flesh eating virus. I'm tired of the continuous battle to keep going and cope

It is understood what it is like have bad spells, I have massive flair ups regulary effecting many parts of the body one day ok the next three weeks or more in massive pains that exhaust me totaly. you take medication like sweets and just want too sit in the corner and growl.

Really it does not work, so you do your relaxation techniques at bit your lip. Pain clinic gives you the tools you have too live with it. See your GP he will give you advice and referrals so at least you can compartulize your pain and life. GOOD LUCK KEEP TAKING THE TABLETS

I too have a constant battle with good and bad days. It wouldn't be so bad to cope with if it was more predictable. But bad days seem to happen for no reason and stay for variable lengths of time.

I use the bad days as down time and do all the little things I don't have time to do. The last time it was cleaning the little display cabinet that houses many tiny mementos from holidays and friends. It was a nice distraction remembering and it didn't really matter that it took all day, I wasn't able to do much anyway.

On the good days I have to reign myself in so as not to over exert myself. Its not often I'm close to being pain free I've come to enjoy it purely for its own sake.

Just be yourself and growl if you want to. My kids grew up with Grumpy and Happy. They have good insight into other peoples behaviour from it and are more accommodating of other people.

Good luck and that you may find the energy to slip by the demon days toward the splash of sunlight that offers occasional warmth.

Thanks all for your replies , it's good to know you're not alone - logically you know you're not but you or at least i did think no-one shares the same thoughts .
