Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 What is the definition of the word cure? 1. To heal, to make well, to restore to good health 2. solution to problem, often health Antonyms: disease 3. a medicine or therapy that cures disease or relieve pain To this day, there is NO cure for any syndrome or disease. There are medications that may help or ease a disease. But no known cure exists for anything. That is why they call people who have been " cured " of cancer Survivors!!! Some diseases like smallpox and polio etc...just burned themselves out over years. It was not because we had the smallpox shot or the polio vaccine that we didn't get it. That is why the medical establishment is called Medical Practice! It is so disenheartening when we all think - maybe there will be a cure for my disease? Prbably not in our lifetime.... Everything I have developed has no cause and no cure! If you know of any disease or syndrome that has a cure let me know. This has been pondering my mind for the past few weeks. As we " search for a cure " for my Interstitial cystitis that I've had since 1980! No cure for my irritable bowel syndrome! No cure for my erythromelalgia! (see burning feet.org) No cure for my severe debilitating migraines! No cure for my degenerative disc disease! No cure for my burning mouth syndrome! No cure for my blepharitis! No cure for my dry eye! No cure for my fibromyalgia! No cure for my arthritis! No cause or cure for anything I have! So, why do I keep hoping????? Hoping for a cure???? I worked in clinical research for 20 years with big pharma companies. I know what it is all about! $$$$$$ Anyway, this was my rambling post for the day. I hope that I did not offend anyone. I'm just angry at being in chronic pain, being told there is no cause or cure and that I just have to live with it! mncjl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I get tired of it too. As my dr. said, I'll make you as comfortable as possible. There is nothing more I can do. I once had a life, a very good and exciting life. What happened that now I feel like a hurting shell of myself? I try so very hard to stay up but when others aroundyou are always giving you " that look " or sighing you feel like crawling in a hole. I thank God every day that I have this group to pull me through. I just wonder why so many things have gone wrong with my body and this pain level stays so high. Well enough ranting.
