I'm so sick of being sick. Diabetes - Fibromyalgia-Kidney issues- depression- anxitey- malnutrition- blood pressure issues - AVR -Migraines and more. some days my pain is so bad it makes me vomit or just not able to eat all,some days I can't get out of bed. I've been told I'll never live a pain or sickness free life and some days it feels impossible to keep going

      I empathise, I get housebound with my painful and wretched spinal condition, not to mention my other health problems too, makes me wish my suffering will be over, and to coin a phrase, I wouldn't put my worst enemy through this either! I know we're not alone, but life sure sucks most of the time eh? X

      I feel you and I used to think the same way until I really started looking at my diet and managed to improve everything just by changing what I eat. It took a long time but the effort was worth it 100%

      I feel the same some days 😥 if I didn't have a supportive husband and two young children, I feel I would've given up by now. Is there anything they can give you for the nausea? Maybe some CBT about managing pain too? Maybe you've already tried these things. I'm so sorry you're suffering. Keep coming here for support and keep trying to see the good in each day ❤️

          @LittleMissangeleyes Sounds like we're in the same boat sweetie. Yesterday was a bad day, but today I escaped Alcatraz, to get some groceries. I used the stores mobility scooter and it was a great help. I can't do prolong sitting though, cos of the painful spasms nor prolonged standing and walking, only for few minutes. I find lying down in the recovery position is easier to manage though. I hope you have a better day than yesterday, if not take it easy, a better day will come soon possum 😊
