Words. Just words. Until you live with debilitating pain (and mine has only begun to this extent but knowing its forever....) until you experience it you can't possibly empathize with someone. Now, when I say I am praying for someone with pain, I can almost feel the pain while I pray.
Yesterday when I got to the doctor they called the referral in and that was that. Nothing else was needed. My appointment with the neurologist is April 23.
I guess yesterday was my blessed good day to give me hope, as the darkness descended so did all the old pain and water bucket and today is not real good either.
I honestly do not know how people survive life long pain with no hope of it ever ending. This is definately a new phase in my life and clearly I need to figure out how to accept it.
I pray you are having a blessed good day today.

Hi Stacy,
I really DO understand the pain of which you speak. I don't know if it helps but I think when the pain was new to me, as it is to you now, I had more days dwelling on what the future may be. As time progressed I tried to learn to live one day at a time.
I'm in no way proclaiming to do this all the time. As a matter of fact, I just told my husband yesterday that I was afraid something was wrong with me that might take my life and they haven't been able to find it.
Sounds like i was really positive yesterday doesn't it
But on my goods days I remind myself that even though I have this pain I have a lot of other blessings. Today I'm back to taking it one day at a time. Every morning as soon as I get up I thank God the day. Every night before I go to sleep I remind myself of everything I'm grateful for. It works more often then not.
When I become too focused on what the future my bringing I remind myself that I believe in miracles! You never know many one day......
Wishing you a blessed and low pain day.
