I am still here.. need help

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had posted a little and then I have been having such a time lately I

haven't been posting.

I have got to get better.... regarding the pain mostly. It is just too much!

And I just basically can't do anything. The pain is there all the time and then

if I do pretty much anything at all ... it increases greatly. Like I took a

rubber stamping class Tuesday. Well, it was two four hour classes so eight hours

of class with an hour break in between that I had to run home and let my dogs

out during.

Anyway, I had to keep my head turned to the left a good part of the day because

the instructor was sitting beside me and so to see what he was showing us I had

to turn my head. And since then my neck (and all the way across my shoulders)

hurts so bad that I don't know how it is going to stay attached! Many more

things hurt but my neck and shoulders are in horrible shape.

I can't go on like this. I have got to get better.

I know I have to get focused on changing my diet but I have been having so

much pain I just haven't been able to deal with that. And I know that sounds

crazy because I need to do it to see if it will help me but it's so hard.

Another problem is that I have always been such a picky eater.

I was wondering if anyone (Joanne or anyone willing to do it) could kinda give

an example of what you eat. I thought this might help some others as well.

Also I wanted to say that I have been having a lot of trouble with anxiety.

And I try to fight it but I deal with a lot of fear and worry. It seems like I

worry over everything. I was raised in a home with a lot of fear and worry so

that is part of it.

And I get depressed and feeling hopeless sometimes. A lot of that comes from

having all the pain.

And I don't sleep much.
