Hi, Welcome to the group! My name is Dawn and I also have a similar situation as

you, minus the live in mother! I could not even imagine the stress you are going

through right now. My husband is not very supportive. Counseling is totally out

of the question. He said he did not have a problem I did, nice huh?

 

When we stress our bodies do not respond well and compound the pain that we go

through everyday, well it just about drives us crazy!!!   I have had people

come to me and say, I know what you are going through because I broke my arm,

leg, etc.... I want to sometimes ring their necks!!! Just kidding about the

violence, but that is how I feel! See I am not saying that they was not in pain,

but I am saying that their pain was temp. They knew the bone was going to heal

and then they would be pain free, just like it did when I broke my toe. I do not

know what it is like to lose a child or to lose a spouse, so I can't relate, but

I can relate to you and others here on this forum.

 

I will be praying that your situaion gets better and remember that he married

you through sickness and health. I am sure if he was in the same situation as

you, you would do the same for him. I am working for my Aunt part-time, but I do

not even think I can handle this job. I just got turned down from SSD for the

third time. Monday I am calling around for a lawyer  I hope I can get this SSD,

because like I said before I have idea how I am going to live. I refuse to be

homeless again!!!

 

I hope you have a good day and take care. God Bless you!!! Dawn

Welcome to the forum Mic. Good to see you here but said for the

reason. I have been dealing with constant pain for over a year w/o

much medical help. My hubby is holding down a full time job without

overtime and trying to do laundry on the weekends that he doesn't

work. The washer and dryer are down 12 stairs without a rail. I can

see the strain on him. He holds it in so long and then blows big

time. My elderly mom lives with us also. She and I used to argue a

lot and from time to time still do. I try to just agree to disagree.

Sometimes that doesn't even work. Her and I are always tangling our

walkers. There is a lot of tension here and that only makes the pain

worse. It is an endless cycle. I feel that you are taking a very

good step in seeking counseling together as a couple. That is a very

positive action on your parts. My husband wouldn't hear of

counseling. I know that others will come along here with better advice

than I can give. Take care.

Oh, can I so understand not being able to safely do your job in pain. Where you

were the RN, my job wasn't as graceful, but when I had 2 to 3 thousands pounds

of weight hanging overhead with a dozen people working within the unsafe area, I

could not be preoccupied with pain and miss a step. I had to give up the job for

this and other reasons of safety.

Anyways welcome to the forum, glad you can join, but not so glad why, hope you

can find hope/help here. I know I found my kindred.

And, Hi all I hope you all are doing good, or bestest you can. The weather sucks

down here, hot during day and cold at night really makes for a sorta Grimm

repeater. The arthritis is about to get the best of me.
