Flare

[Guest guest]

Hey all. I'm still here; been reading posts but haven't been up to posting much.

In another flare. When will it end? I know, when i'm dead. I try not to be so

pessimistic but sometimes it can't be avoided. I tried going to a concert with a

dear friend of mine and had to leave early due to severe pain. I felt like such

a loser. I've been in severe pain since. Guess that'll teach me that I can't

have a life outside of my bed.

sorry you had to miss out on the end of that concert, and that your excursion ended up increasing your pain leve, Catl.

Maybe sometimes you will choose to take a chance and see how long you can enjoy an activity, even though it results in pain -- or maybe you will decide that the 'fun' isn't worth the cost of pain.

I do disagree that folks who have a health condition are 'losers' though? unless I misunderstand the nuances of the word? Just because we were 'dealt' a hand with 'challenges' doesn't to me make us less as people... We just have to work harder, sometimes MUCH harder, for things other folks may get more easily.

Hopefully you will find some additional ways to make life feel better for you.

.... or maybe this was just a 'down' moment, and a chance to vent?? In which case we probably all have 'been there'!!
