claire_louise Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 ^ Yep, I'd take Cal's advice. Unfortunately I have no choice but to take the 'in pain' option, and I can assure you it's no fun at all.
Di Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Moan: I have fibromyalgia, which is unexplainable pain with no treatment or cure. Which basically means that I get to spend the rest of my life either in pain or drugged up to my eyeballs. Excellent. I think the drugged up to your eyeballs option is the best. I've been on tablets for 11 months, and I will be for the rest of my life. It becomes a part of your routine. ^ Yep, I'd take Cal's advice. Unfortunately I have no choice but to take the 'in pain' option, and I can assure you it's no fun at all. I def know how you guys feel, I have kidney problems, But have been really ill and in hell a lot of pain for abt 10 months . Had loads of tests, three different type of scans. I'm just waiting to have a camera investigation in my bladder under a local also waiting for results to see how much damage there is to my kidneys, cause of the nearly constant infections I keep having. I'm on semi-long term antibiotics, to try and keep me out of hospital. As I have been in 3 times in the first 6 months of this year. I have been on very strong pain meds for a few months, But have been told I could be like this forever, in pain 24/7. I have been very unwell, on the pain meds, as I can only have certain ones cause of my Asthma. I aslo have severe allergy to morphine based ones I'm also severly allergic to anti sickness meds too. I was feeling worse on them as off them. So I have decided to just live with the pain, I only take the meds when I desbrate or can't carry on with the constant pain, It's not easy and can be rather unpleasant at times. Also I'm not really happy of having to take and rely on the pain meds forever either. Its a no win situation, as some of you know, from your own personal experance. Cause of been like this for sometime, I have just been diagnosesd with moderate to severe depression again (After been ok for abt a 19 months off meds)
claire_louise Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 Aww Di I feel for you so much, I really do. The last time I went to the hospital my consultant told me "there's nothing I can do to make you feel better, but if you don't try to think positively I'll have to put you on antidepressants". Obviously it didn't occur to him that the reason I'm depressed is because I feel ill all the flippin' time!!

Thanks hun, some consultants have no bloody idea do they ... what it like to live like we have to, day in day out in pain. I'm kinda lucky really, my consultant has been great and he's been honest with me from the start, that they might never know why I have the kidney problems I have. I had some pain meds last night, as not had any for abt 5 days, as I said I have them when I get desbrate,and boy I was desbrate last night . But I was very, very sick after I'd had them . So I can only seem to take paracetamol for pain releif with out been sick now .
claire_louise Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 Oh no I really hope you feel better soon. Even just one good day can really lift your spirits - mine was last Thursday, when I indulged in much needed retail therapy! I swear shopping is better than any drug they can give you!
Cal Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 I agree with that, Claire. Online shopping makes me feel so much better. I hope everything goes OK for you, Di!
