constant pain
For 6+ months I've been bed ridden, not able to breathe when standing. I have many health problems which leaves my entire body in agony everyday. My dr has me on meds that don't help, if I wasn't so scared I'd admit myself to hospital. I'm only existing and don't want to continue feeling the pain or burdening my family. I don't want to live anymore, I'm physically and mentally exhausted.

Re: constant pain
Hi @Hopeless80
I'm sorry to hear you have chronic pain - it is very hard to endure and can only be managed
I am wondering if you are able to see a pain specialist - I do - I have found his procedures very helpful
I really do know how hard it is to manage with chronic pain - there is a lot of help for daily living available - there is no need to be afraid to ask for help
I do wish you the best - many people here have pain in the body - you are not alone - I am glad you have found us
Dec

Re: constant pain
Hi @Hopeless80. That sounds like a really tough and frustrating situation to be going through and I can totally understand wanting all of that constant pain to stop. I'm hearing your exhaustion too and I'm sorry. You don't deserve to feel like this. It sounds like what's been happening has been quite distressing, so I'd really encourage you to reach out for support- you can call Lifeline (13 11 14) or the Suicide Callback Service (1300 659 467) or Sane also has a Help Centre you can access if you'd just like to speak to someone one to one non-urgently. Please know you're not alone and we'll be here to ride with you as you navigate this rough and rocky road. I really hope things improve for you soon.

Re: constant pain
Hi Princess Lettuce.
Sorry about the late reply and I sincerely appreciate you checking in with me. I'm safe atm, trying to catch up on sleep when I can. I have family around but it's hard having my kids watching me go through this. Thank you for your help.
Regards

Re: constant pain
Thanks so much for replying Dec.
My dr said he put me on a waiting list for pain management, not sure how long a wait it will be. My current meds don't help at all.
I'm glad to hear you have found some relief with treatment.

Re: constant pain
Hi TideisTurning.
Thanks for your kind words and concern, I genuinely appreciate it. I'm ok atm, no immediate danger and I am currently still seeking help. I've had limited help from my dr but need to look at other avenues to try and get some relief.
