Very much hearing you on the pain @Appleblossom Sitting is the hardest thing for me too with back pain. The couch is okay as it is very comfortable (and I can lay down when I need).

We have been together here supporting each other and sharing our lives for many years now Apple ...and I am always grateful for that and for you 💖

Hi  @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @outlander @Emelia8 @Appleblossom @Hams @Anastasia

I find it hard to talk about my hard days - however - that's why I joined this forum after all - so I have to have my turn I guess.

It has been a rougher day than usual - the pain in my shoulder is playing up more possibly because today there was another glitch in my medication - this I could do without

The pain clinic sorted it out - it should not be something I need to get in a twist about but I did and although I should get my medication tomorrow or Saturday I feel exhausted and I need to cook my dinner 

I haven't washed last night's dishes though - and I really need to eat - I forgot lunch - that's not good.

This isn't ordinary pain medication - it's highly restricted and can only be prescribed by a pain specialist and it has to be compounded and so on etc - and so forth - and I am tired.

I don't wanna whinge - but I feel the need

HI again Tyme

The pain I have can blast through my tolerance into the high numbers in seconds - I know the pain is there all the time - when a spike happens I need my medication straight away and it works really quickly - I live my life around it managing very well most of the time.

The glitches in my medication are not from the pain clinic - they know I am responsible and not too many people would line up to change places with them - and I prefer the devil I know anyway so most of the time I am okay about it.

What the pharmacy told me and what they told the pain clinic was different - apparently there was a shortage in their supply - I get that.

I have enough for a couple of days - I think I just got anxious and normally I deal with that well - I have washed the dishes and I will start to cook soon

Hopefully I will get into tonight's chat

Thanks

Owlunar
