Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I know everyone has been through this before with depression and pain and dealing with this and all, but I am having such a hard time.I'm in so much pain I feel like I'm going crazy. I can't pick up my youngest son, I can't buckle him in his car seat, I can't button anything, I can't use anything that involves a pump (like shampoo). I am not getting any sleep almost at all and then I have to wake up early in the morning to watch my kids. I can't take a nap or rest during the day because I don't have anyone to help with the kids. I just started disability so I can't afford to pay someone to watch the kids. I'm tires and in pain and depressed. I feel like a failure because I can't hardly do any housework. I am just a mess. I don't leave the house and have become very antisocial which is definately not me because I am usually a hyperactive person. Don't get me wrong my family is supportive, but they don't really understand. My doctor use to have me on something called Tramadol (not sure if that is right) to help me sleep, but it didn't help. I take 2 lortab 10 3 times a day, but they wear off within 1-2 hours. My doctor told me to take them right before bed to help me sleep, but it doesn't. So I find myself literally staying up until I'm exhausted which is usually around 4 or 5 a.m. I know I wouldn't be in as much pain or as emotional if I were getting sleep. Are there any websites with products for arthritis support? Thanks everyone, Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
