My husband told me that Pres. Trump said he’d like to do away with half of all pain meds use! I’ve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30’s since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable . I’ve been on them straight since then , Oct 21st at 1:10 pm ,1997. You don’t forget the date that changed your life. I’ve been treated like a drug seeker all my life on meds. Once and awhile you’ll find a dr who knows pain… read more

I'm not saying I'm suicidal, but I do wish I could just die rather than live in chronic pain and treatment resistant depression.
Yes dear many times
I know that they are bad people out there, but we are not one of them, and yet we get treated like we are bad, because we are in pain and what helps us is being decided by people who do not feel what we do

When we are in constant pain, our minds deal with situation through distraction. This is why you may find yourself being more forgetful (where are my keys, why did I come in this room). I have… read more
I’m struggling to write in detail what happened to me and the health issues it has left me with... have others found it therapeutic?
Any tips, advice ?
I am a writer and agree completely! And if words don't come to you immediately, don't stress about it. Just put your pen to paper and draw circles - no pressure to write. This frees your mind to let… read more

Oh my you’ve been through a lot take care sweetheart 🤗
First started when I was 26 now I’m pushing 76. For a long time it was pain meds, sometimes Bose, or other drugs. Now it’s Meditation, right living right thinking and very little opioids
For example, making plans and feeling useful and productive. Self esteem issues.
Pam, thanks so much for the info.
How do you get your motivation back after a long fight with pain. The feeling of giving up when nothing seems to go right? When those you talk to say they don't wanna hear it anymore? When you have so much that needs done but your body won't cooperate and you feel overwhelmed.
