The Truth of Pain
Well, here I am again in the early morning hours because of my pain. Right now I am stitting on a bag of Blue Ice to take the pain away somehow. Nothing seems to be working but sleeping and I only do that at a 2-3 hour stint. I can barely walk, roll out of bed, and use the bathroom. I don't think I could drive at this point to the ER if I had to. I don't want to wake Todd because this is his new job and I don't want to jepordize anything at that angle right now. I guess I could call my father in law if it gets really bad but his driving is horrid I am afraid he would hit a cow
, which are on the way to the hosptial. I don't take pain killers because this type of pain it is useless on. The strongest I get is Soma. That isn't even working anymore. UGH! What am I do to do. I called my rheumy and he said take advil to help the inflammation. Well, without a car and living in the boonies there isn't a 24 hour store for miles.
Well that is the truth of pain.....it really is well, a pain.

nothing personal..but I would try an opite to break the cycle..I understand an opiate doesn't work on the exact site of pain..ie: an anti-inflammatory is best for inflammation pain..
I realize narc's are only trying to convince your brain that their is no pain...it is not helping an inflammation process..
but who knows what is going on with all your pain...break the cycle..before it breaks you..
Good luck what ever you do...
Thank you for your thoughts. I was on opiates for years and they didn't help too much. Which is why I stopped. Today I feel much better but still sore.
Thanks again for reading.
Well, Wendy... I really feel for you. My mom has many issues with medical problems. She has Fibro,osteoarthritis,TMJ, and other such horid diseases. What you have expressed in your blog is very good. That is, to get your feelings out in hopes to relate with someone. Or, just to get it out. I am planning to send my mom your Blog site so she can feel like she isn't alone. I take care of her a lot, and do what I can. She lives in AZ and I have just moved from there to TX with my husband and daughter. I am sure you know there are fibro support groups and lectures and such. I know they're there but my mom never went to any becuase she was sure none of it would help.
I really hope you feel better on more days at a time soon. I know it must be so hard. You're young, maybe these stupid doctors will someday figure out what to do to help. I'd get on the opiates anyway again. At least they help with your outlook on life.. Maybe?
Take care girl!
