Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Dear Kat, What an excellent subject to bring up. I have felt very guilty taking these drugs, and i even feel badly when i have to tell my doc the pain meds are not working. I sometimes do feel, very much like so dependent on these, as i am, due to the pain. But you hit it right on the button for me...i do feel guilty taking them. My children know i am in pain, but, they also hate me taking these drugs. The other day i had an appoitment with my p/c and he sat me down and told me, i had to listen to him, he put me knee to knee, eye to eye and told me, no matter how many docs i see to try and fix me, it was not going to happen and i would have to come to the realization that i would be on these meds for the rest of my life, and would have this pain for the rest of my life. He said i needed to accept the pain and the meds as a fact of my life today, it will never be what it was...well, i came home and cried for days, due to the fact that i do feel guilty taking these meds.., i dont know exactly why??? I know i need them, without them i would be in so much pain i would most likely kill myself...so, Kat, i too feel as you do. About menopause, i think i too am going thru it, i have found, now this may sound odd, but, i dont have to shave under my armpits as nearly as much as i did before, it has actually stopped growing, not my legs as much, but under the arm pits, there is no longer any hair...it freaks me out, i am 49, and i know i am going thru the change...thank you for bringing up that fact, i would have never really recongnized and put that into words had it not been for you email. Thank you for sharing with me...we can talk again if you would like. I have just moved, and i have so many emails to write back to that people have answered to my questions, but, it is so hard to try and fit 6 plus rooms into 3. I have to have a house sale or something...and due to the pain it makes it even worse. I moved here so it would be easier to clean, due to the pain. I am so happy i did, i will be even happier when i have extra time to catch up with the others who have written me cause i feel guilty about that too....big hugs. janine angelpra4u@... wrote: <<Anyhow I am feeling badly/guilty......I feel deminished/ by my dependancy Does anyone else struggle with this?>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Janine, You are a breathe of fresh air to me. I have gone through my change about 10 yrs. ago and never talked to anybody about the hair under my arms before. It has all but gone away and I thought something was wrong with me, or it was hereditary. Thanks so much for sharing. At least I don't feel like some kind of a freak anymore. donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hey Donna, I know, i felt like i was really going whacky with this one, but, it just must be the natural way our bodies deal with our age and what happens to our bodies...we are not freaks, we are good and honest people, with good hearts who are trying anything to get better. Maybe you have a significant other, and you were feeling funny about that, i only have me, so, in the beginnning it bothered me, till i figured out what it was....no biggie.....just getting older my dear...hang in there, it would be a blessing if the hair in my nose would stop growing...lol....just trying to make you laugh...janine Donna wrote: You are a breathe of fresh air to me.
