Bad Flare

[Guest guest]

it's good to see you back again!

HUGS

I'm glad you are doing better.

It makes me feel good to see your humour even in the midst of pain..

(i.e. that is your reference to yourself as looking like Igor) It is good

to laugh isn't it.. if we can find some way to do it....even if we are

laughing through the tears.....

I salute your bravery...and that of so many here who keep going no matter

what and try to find the funny/happy side of life.>

Hi . Sorry to hear your flaring so badly. Must be something in the

air of late. Everyone I know is having one, and bad ones at that.

Hang in there. Nice to hear from you. : )

Hi all. This is again. I am sorry to complain but I have no one

else to vent to. I had a really bad flare up today, and my pain meds

did nothing to help it. I get so depressed being in pain all the time.

It wears you down physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

I see my pain dr. next week. I hope he can give me something stronger

for the pain. It would be wonderful to have ONE pain-free day all day.

I hope everyone else is managing ok. You all have helped me a lot I

read every e-mail I get from the group and pray for you all. Till next

time.

God Bless,

Chris

Hi Chris!

I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling! Never feel bad about venting

here! We understand and are all there at some point or another. That's what we

are here for. A couple of weeks ago, my CBT doctor was talking to me about Pain

Management Therapy. Basically, its training the brain to help it focus on

something to diminish the pain. Have you ever listened to a guided imagery

track? Which is basically just laying down, closing your eyes, doing a

progressive muscle relaxation exercise. I just got a CD that is called mini

mind vacations. It takes me for a walk on a beach. I just lay there and

breathe deeply and listen to it. It doesn't take away my anxiety or my pain

entirely, but it does diminish both quite a bit. Good luck at the Pain

Management doctor! Hang in there!

I'm sorry that you are feeling so badly... This list is wonderful,

and I've complained more then a few times myself... I find that it

sometimes helps just to get it off your chest... I also find that it

helps a great deal to know that others have an idea of what your going

through... I feel like I've been in a permanent flare for several

months now, and its wearing me out emotionally as well as

physically... On the bright side, I just got my first enbrel injection

today, and I'm praying for this stuff to work its wonders on me, as it

has helped so many others...

Hope you feel better soon
