Its so stressful to not be able to escape these pains no matter what I do, or what medication I take... These flare ups happen whenever I try to do anything other than sit around being a god damn slob... Angers me that I cant even so my own shopping... The thought that this is me for the rest of my life is so depressing, I just want to cry... And the fact that I want to cry is so far from being 'me', that makes me want to cry again...
Sorry for the whinge, just having one of those days today & I just feel like curling up in a ball & sobbing again...

Andy,
We're warriors, man. My phenomenal pain and pressure where the brain stem meets the spine, no problem. You flare up, you'll beat it until the flare up calms down again.
In the meantime, we keep looking for answers. And we WILL find an answer one day. At least enough to let us have lives.
As for crying, I've lost count of the times I did, then I feel a little better and face the challenge again.
And you're not a slob. You're a tough, really nice guy with a pretty lousy sickness.
I was a boxer once. I got knocked to the canvas more than once (with a broken rib and cheekbone in the process) but I always got back up. You just took a body blow, but you'll get back up.
Life always throws punches. We just happen to be getting Mike Tyson sized punches. But we keep getting up off the canvas. That's why we'll win in the end, however many rounds it takes.
