Re: I'm feeling so frustrated.

[Guest guest]

Gosh Lynn, I feel so bad for you. I wish I could think of the right thing to

say that would make you feel better. I do know that venting, getting it all

out, does help some. I hope that you felt better, a little, after writing this.

I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to take care of someone else,

when you yourself hurt so much. I do know what it's like to have someone who

does not understand. My husband works on a ship. He's gone 7 months of the

year. He just left for the ship a few days ago, after being home for 30 days.

During this time, he worked on the garage, putting up a new wall, siding, etc.

Prior to this, if I even said the words, " I hurt so bad " , I'd get a disgusted

look from him. He refuses to even try to understand the extent of my pain.

After pounding a hammer for a couple days, his elbow began hurting him. All he

did was complain, every night. He'd look at me after saying that his arm hurt

so bad, with anticipation, waiting for me to feel sorry for him. You know what

I said to him? I said, " Now you know how I feel, only not just my elbow, but

all over my body. Maybe God is allowing your elbow to hurt so you can learn a

little compassion. " I couldn't even believe I said it to him. I thought he was

going to go off into a rage, but you know what? He answered by saying, " Ya,

maybe you're right. " So, I don't know if that will change things or not. I

suppose next time he comes home and hears me say I'm not feeling well, he'll get

mad again, maybe not though. I guess I'm just supposed to keep my mouth shut

and never say that I hurt -- it's so hard not to, when I hurt constantly. And

this is after my doctor abruptly took me off my pain meds, in lieu of physical

therapy, to which I did not make it, because I hurt so bad. I also have

arthritis in my last 7 disks -- and I guess he thinks I can learn pain

management from the PT. I just don't see it. Anyway, Lynn, you're in my

thoughts. My heart goes out to you and your situation. I hope you find a

solution for it soon because you do need to rest and take care of yourself too

and you need understanding!

I know I am new to this list and I hate to whine or b****, but I really need

to vent right now. I got a terrible night's sleep. My husband must have

waken me up 10 times last night. Then, at 8:30 this morning, I went into the

spare bedroom to sleep because the nurse was suppose to be here about then.

Well even when I went in there he called me several times. I just sort of

ignored it and went to sleep. Like I said in my intro, my dh is paralyzed.

He has a nursing agency that comes in on Wednesday and Sunday mornings for

several hours instead of his regular attendant that works the other mornings

and evenings. Well, it is now 1:30 and no one has shown up. He had trouble

with his catheter and I have taken care of that. But, the bed is wet and I

just can not do it. I can't move him. I am already in pain today. Now, I

just made him a sandwich, walked it all the way back to the bedroom and

heard it wasn't cut in half and I forgot the chips. Well, that is the last

straw for me!!! And, to top it off, he got aggravated because the sandwich

wasn't cut in half and has called a local shop to have his lunch delivered.

Oh, I have to tell you all that I am ticked!

How do you deal with people who just do not understand?

I have called the nursing agency and explained the situation and asked a

supervisor to call. He has talked to them several times today but hadn't

explained the situation completely. The last time he spoke to the

coordinator he did tell her that he was laying in a wet bed. But, he just

can not take no for an answer from me. And, if I do one think then he

expects more. I did do a cath but then he couldn't (or wouldn't) accept that

I was not going to change the chux and move him, give him a bed bath, etc.

He has a lift and he said, " all you need to do is get me in it. " Well, that

is more than I can do right now. I hurt! I am ready to cry out of

frustration and pain. I just wish that my own husband would understand. I

have taken care of this man for years and now what do I get?! I guess I need

to not feel sorry for myself--or at least not give into the pity--but right

now it is difficult.

I would appreciate any suggestions or advice.

Hi Lynn,

Sorry to hear all you are going through. I can understand the

frustration when people just do not understand just because you don't

look sick you arnt sick. That has to be one of the biggest problems with

FM & CFS.

I had a thought though, bare with me, I have no imagination and no

common sense most of the time. But how about a letter from your dr. that

states what you can & cant do. that you can not lift over 5 pounds and

so on. Bring it to DH on a day when he is a decent mood. and have him

read it. Talk to the dr. first before he/she writes the letter and

explain that it is for your DH & the agencies that come into your homes.

I think it would be a good idea to have several on hand for these people

to read, and hopefully will understand a little better. Once you hear it

from a doc. It seems to be more seriously taken. Like I said it may not

be a good idea but it' my 2 cents worth good luck, keep your chin up.

I am feeling very frustrated too. This flare is not going to go anyplace

soon. I am very irritable and AI have to go with my daughter to see my

husband. I can't drive by myself because of pain medication.

This house need a lot done to it but I can;t seem to get to it. All I want

to do is lay in bed. My husband will be home soon and I will need to help

him. I know that he will not be able to get around on his own. I am glad to

help him but the pain is terrible now and as I said it is not getting better.

Take care,

How are you managing without pain meds? I would think that after physical

therapy that the pain would be horrific. I think that I would try another

doctor. Life is hard enough with pain meds but I would shudder to think what

it would be like without pain meds.

Take care,

Irene

Lynn: Try switching from Elavil to Effexor. It takes

away depression, physical pain, and you can sleep well

with it. It works for me. As far as exercise, easy

does it. Walking is the best exercise. Water exercise

is good, too, but I am like you: I am a size 22 and

won't buy a bathing suit. Just hang in there my

friend.

I am at least a 24, probably much larger, and I bought myself the

prettiest, most colorful swimsuit I could find. I can't hide my body, but

I can at least package it nicely. In addition, when I wear that suit, I

walk like I'm a stick-thin fashion model on the runway, and no one dares

tell me any different!

Swimming is awesome . . . in the pool I'm nearly pain free and I can move

like an angel. We live in a mobile home estate, so our pool is " semi "

public. No ones cares about your size, especially if you're enjoying yourself.

Nothing, Lynn. That is half of the problem. I am meeting with a

Personal Trainer on Thursday. She works with people with fibromyalgia

and I'm hoping she can understand if I just can't do some things on

some days.

Water aerobics was easy on the fibro, but it's too hard to go to the

pool every day.

Good morning,

I really hope that suggestion (about the letter) will help. You made me

happy by saying you liked the idea. First time anybody has liked or used

anything iv said in a long time LOL. I think it Might be of some help

anyway.

I can only imagine how frustrating this has got to be. If somebody

treated me this way in MY own home. Oh boy it would not be good. Iv

never been an " out spoken " person But I'm getting there these days. I

stand up for my kids & hubby but I'm still learning to stand up for me,

I think I feel I don't deserve it but that's another story. If she cant

do her job and do it right with out taking over the world then she can

find a new place to work. Or First if she has a supervisor/manager there

would be a complaint made ASAP. Nobody would want you to have to go

through that stuff. You have your rights Just because your not the

patient doesn't mean you have no rights. It's your home, your husband

your life NOT hers. She has to respect you especially in your home,

which she is not doing.

I know what you mean about not getting enough sleep. I can get to sleep

usually but I wake up 6 - 10 times at night. What's the point in going

to bed? The amitriptylin 150 mg at bed is supposed to help with sleep

depression and pain. I cant see that it is working at all. But then if I

go off it I would probably find out. I would love to just have a

sleeping pill for every night for as long as I need it. Do Dr.s really

do that?

Keep me posted on how this goes. Try to take charge here and put your

foot down. I can understand hubby being crabby I sure would be. But he

does need to understand he's lucky your willing to do what you can to

keep him home. A lot of people in his situation especially when they get

grouchy end up in " homes " . He is taking you for granted. I don't know

what you can do about that since I don't know the whole situation. Good

luck Hun, your in my thoughts & prayer.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I really appreciate them. I do like

the idea of asking a doctor for a letter to give to hubby, his nurse and

the nursing agency. His regular attendant is NOT with a nursing agency

and she acts like this is " her " house--not mine. Hubby is still angry.

But, that is his problem. It could end up mine, but for today I am not

going to worry about it.

I slept for 12 hours last night. I woke up several times this morning

but I did go to sleep at 11 last night. I think the Elevil is not such a

good idea. Sleeping for 12 hours/night is interfering with my life.

Though I will admit that I am not hurting as much today. :-)

What do you all do for exercise? Have any of your done any rebounding

though of getting into a bathing suit is horrendously anxiety producing.

Good Morning. It's still raining here in Ohio, I like the rain, so it

is a good morning!

Anyway, my doctor just put me on Remeron to help with the sleeping.

It is a anti-depressant and you dissolve one tablet in your mouth at

bedtime.

So far, I've been able to sleep through the night for about 7

uninterrupted hours!!!!! Anyone else tried this? And then I've just

got to ask, how long does this honeymoon period last???
