Staying afloat
Just because one gets frustrated with the way things are doesn't mean they are giving up, Unfortunately I have also learned this week that even those who love you dearly get tired of your journey too. I feel some friendships have changed because of my long journey with pain, I wish my sister Mary was still alive her love for me never changed. This journey has been so long I feel that I am losing friends daily because they dont understand what's going on. I dont understand what's going on either but I have to keep going my Mom needs me. I sincerely apologize if you are tiring if hearing about my pain journey but this is all I have walked for 22 months and now playing the waiting game again its hard. Pain grates on a person then lack of sleep wears on you as well and before you know it your a growly different person who can't even stand yourself. But I am still me just trying to keep my head above water and I am thankful for the few of you who are ALWAYS there no matter what. Because I have lost some close friends and I have to think that thats ok I guess.

I'm taking opioids for my chronic Back pain. Makes me worry about what and where I'll be in ten years, since I live alone. Dakota, haven't you and I been friends somewhere before? Your username sounds familiar. Anyway, I understand what you go through with the pain. Same with the friends issue. It's hard for me to have many friends when I don't want anyone to know about me using Diapers 24/7, or being a homo and liking it in my ass all the time. I'm a bit ticked off about the pain issue. I worked for over 35 years on jobs that wouldn't let me smoke pot. Now that I can no longer work, and I'm taking Oxycodone, by federal law, I still can't smoke pot. If I get caught smoking it, the pain center will stop the pain meds, which I need. So I get screwed again. If I could only find a pain killer that would allow me to occasionally smoke pot without violating someone agreement, life would be a lot better. Have you ever tried medical marijuana?

Hey super suz I will always have your back. I am a sufferer of chronic pain and know what you are going through.

@Dakotasuz you are right, I do not understand what you are going through. And I thank God that I do not know. Only people who live with chronic pain can truely understand. I have a friend who lives with chronic pain and I have told her the same. If you need someone to " vent" at or just moan at, without any advice ( as I do not know what you are going through it is not for me to give you advice) or judgement coming back at you. I am your woman.
