OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

Thanks Mother cluckers, I almost deleted the pain post. I believe it is one of the biggest issues, w e have to deal with. Undealt with it has so, many consequences. It's like a whole in the barnyard fence. It keeps getting bigger and bigger. Then everything that's suppose to be inside the fence gets out. Everything is falling apart and then there are the outside things moving into the inside. Everything hitting up against everthing else,choas ensues---even if it didn't hurt beore it does now.  The emotional part ----we---- just get tired of the constant assault. A period of absolutely no pain, absolute comfort is so treasured -  but a distant memory.   Law says you can't take a pain med for emotional pain, I know there are those occasions that a pill can reduce the emotional pain because it will take away the physical pain,  I am now so used to because it's been with me sooooooooo long. But fixing both is the only way, to make things right. 

Angel even though you say emotional pain, and I'm not denying that it is truly emotional,  I'd bet a handful of chicken grain, at the bottom you'd find the cause phsyically related. Crips we have all been brutalized over and over again. AND then before we aren't  even close to being whole and healthy again ---new brutalizations start happening.   Having to work, Having to do other life things  to sustain the household---------and then we get to  our 5 years of  THE AI"S AND TAMOX. BRAWGKKKK. I had to restart all the stuff I had weaned off of b/c the  Aromasin sledgehammer that someone ----not from our henhouse--- beat my whole body up feathers and all. SO, I have two drugs prn for the emotional, One for the CWP, And three different straight pain relievers  __A patch for main control and two for the breakthrough prn. I'm a walking pharmacy. AND in the back of my mind ,I have to keep a little person watching me so, I don't get addicted.  All I want is" the ability to sit here with a drink and toast all my sisters and not take a frigging medicine". Without someone saying "Aren't you over all that." "No, but if you want it , it's yours "

Alyson, I'll pm you and play 20 questions!

May I make a contribution?

Stupid person with phony pity look on face: "oh, you're so strong."

Me: "That's because they don't let me use deodorant during radiation."

Sit back and enjoy their deer in the headlights look.

Veggy, you're too funny.  Well, I've been suffering pain for the past 30 years or so.....fibromyalgia and company...and always got the "did you see a psychologist ?" comment so I stopped complaining and tried to soothe myself as best as I could.  One rheumatologist gave me a muscle relaxant to help with sleep.  My BS never even gave me pills after the lumpectomy, so I told him that there was no way in hell I was going for a revision of margins unless he gave me pain pills.

Just saw my onco and, at last, I'm being referred to a doctor at the hospital who deals with SEs including pain, what a relief it will be..........I have LE but in my breast and really don't know what to do with that

All the ladies, I'm sorry for your pain, I know how pain can goddam hurt

!OUCH!

Veggy, I can't stop laughing. Reminds me of the doctor who walked into an exam room to write a prescription, pulls a rectal thermometer out of his pocket and says" Now where the hell did I leave my pen?'

What do you say to people who ask you, "Do you know how you got it?" Like BC is a head cold.

No seriously I wanted to kill my cousin who very serious said' Now what do you think you did to get BC'

Think I was too surprised to say much

Update on chicks - proud aunties looking on

I grew up on a chicken farm! I loved going into the brooder house and watching the little chicks pecking their way out of their shells in the incubators. We sold eggs so I never had to eat any of my many pets. Thanks for bringing back some sweet childhood memories!
