{{{{{{{{{{{{{{)))))))))) so sorry you are in such pain. It seems

overwhelming sometimes doesn't it? Do the best you can with everyday and

you will have better days and some days will be bad. Have some patience

with your bad days and think they won't take over your life. Where there is

darkness there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I know how you

feel. My morning was just about like how yours was. SMILE that's better.

Keep that smile ready because you never know when you might need it.

,

I just read your post and am so sorry for you but that is the way pain comes.

It just sneaks in like a thief and takes everything away from you. Just know

that you are not alone.

This is the place to let your feelings out. We all wish we could help but we

all have the same thing to deal with. And, if nobody told you, the weather

plays an enormous part in our lives. Low pressure...storm, is the worst thing.

I know, I can feel it 3 days before it comes in. And, living in the Northeast

we seem to never have stable weather.

My nights are much worse than my days depending on what I have done that day. I

could cry for you too cause I know what you are going through. One day at a

time kid, maybe one hour or minute. I always try to do something that will take

my disturbed mind off of the pain. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

But, you could try.

I will offer a little prayer for you today. donna

I'm so sorry you hurt so bad feel so miserable. I hope that you find

some more good days in your near future. You will be all right. You

have everyone here who understands. Sometimes it feels good just to

scream and let it all out, and even ask why, though we can't find an

answer. I hope that being able to do this has helped you move

forward from today.

Dear :

Sounds like your new to pain syndromes love and there's NO easy way to accept it

let alone mentally deal with it. 6 years ago I ran every morning cross country

up to 10 miles went home after that showered got my son off to school then drove

an hour to open up my holistic medical clinic. I saw patients all day long then

taught Massage from 6 pm to 11 pm. Drove another hour home and started the

repeat all over again. I was relatively healthy, happy, and very flexibile body

wise. Then it happened I was treating a terminally ill patient and his nurse

had not come in that day to help roll him over mind you i'm 5'6 and he was 6'

4 " . And dead weight nothing is heavier. As I was lifting him we both heard a

loud snap and I felt it. My L-5 vertebra broke. The lower back muscles I had

built up so much from exercising had literally sherred off a section of L-5. I

did manage to finish my setion with that Patient but I knew I was hurt. I

called my chiropractor who was also my acupuncturist

and asked if he would examine me this was March 1st of 2000. By June 29th when

I was finally operated on I had lost ALL use of my left leg was on so many drugs

that the time period between when I was injured and when they did the actual

surgery i have virtually no memerory of..... I lost everything literally. I lost

my profession, my practice, my freedom, and all my so called friends.

I went from being a very profitable single mom who had beat the system at

succeess in my choosen field to being in a chair and drugged out of my mind and

on welfare. Its now 2004 I've had two operations on the same L-5 and the last

one was in March and it didn't hold. I have also had a hysterectomy trying to

reduce the pain as well as other problems.

My body too hon is wracked with pain. My husband who's been with me now since

December of 2000 can't make love to me, he can't touch me.... I can't do any

house work, I can't massage him. Yes there are days i hate my existance then I

think you know there are others out there alot worse off than i am. I at least

still have my husband who I know won't ever leave me, he tries his damest to

understand me and does what ever it takes to make me as comfortable as I can.

Before I met him I didn't believe in miracles I do now. Honey If you ever need

to chat, or just vent please message me. If i'm not on line i will answer as

soon as I can. my yahoo account name is traill_seis @yahoo.com

your not alone sweety honest. I can tell a storm 3 days out and how bad its

gonna be. Its a royal bitch too bad pain patients can't be storm meterologists

cause we often are far more acurat than the paid meterologists who do our daily

weather. Don't give up dear, some days are better than others. Look forward to

those and just try to relax on the bad days.
