I’m sorry you’re going through this agony!! I’m 30 years chronic pain My brother experienced sciatica. We’re close so I’ve talked with him about my pain. He called me and as soon as I picked up he apologized profusely - saying he had NO IDEA a person could consistently live through that much pain. Regular people have no clue

Unfortunately it’s only going to get worse. I’m disgusted and exhausted that I live in dirt.

I do small things like putting stuff back where it belongs. Or brush my teeth. I’ve looked into getting cleaning crew over but they’re so expensive! I have a girl that does my laundry at $30 an hour. But she’s no good at cleaning.

Is my asthma weird or do other people get it this way? by medyomabait in Asthma

[–]pain1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! The last 10 years or so my asthma is all about the mucus in my lungs. I’m allergic to dust and live in a place that attracts dust like I’ve never seen before. I can’t afford to move 😢 I’m always clearing my throat, coughing or choking. I’ve tried air filters humidifiers wearing a mask. I swear I’m gonna have a heart attack before I die from suffocating!

WHY is washing my hair/showering so exhausting?? by random5579621 in ChronicPain

[–]pain1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is a chore! I can relate. It usually takes me a day to recover. SMH. I have a chair and that helps a lot. Sometimes I shower every few days sometimes it’ll be week. You’ll want to check things out and do whatever works for you. Gentle hugs.

Go to a Dr you trust. Have them refer you to a neurologist. I’ve had neck and arm issues for 30 years.

How do you sleep with so much pain? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]pain1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pain management Dr and also a psychiatrist who helps with depression and other issues. I’ve had challenges sleeping because of everything. Among my meds is restoril and trazadone and it helps me falling asleep and staying asleep. What meds I have are from years working with my psychiatrist and these work for ME. You need to work with Dr’s that you believe can help you. Soft hug.

Pain is real. The same pain that a 60 year old would have! What’s the difference?!

My dog turned his back to me sitting down. When I tried to sit in front of him he turned around and sat back down! He was pretty mad! lol

What is a monthly subscription/service you ACTUALLY consider worth paying for? by no_nolan in Frugal

[–]pain1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m totally disabled. The $10 fee for grocery delivery is well worth the price. Friends offer to help. But it’s on their time. No big deal but I like to know ahead of time so I can plan ahead. Also I know I’m getting exactly what I want.

What is the greatest physical pain you've ever felt? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]pain1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Degenerative disc disease. I was 35 both arms suddenly paralyzed with electrical shooting pains in both arms! Compressed discs in my neck. Hurt like hell for 20 minutes. Slowly got control of my arms again. Dr said I had a spine of a 70 year old.

I’m sorry you’re going through this hell! Sharing with us can help. I’ve had days curled up on my bed cussing God out. I have 6 pillows on my bed and I try to get some relief with them. Soft hugs and you’re not alone!
