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...

Hi Andy,
Firstly, I am sorry for what you are going through but can relate 100%.
I get when you want to push when you feel better, and why not? Personally, I do the same thing and know I am gonna pay for it but, I have learned, that is now the rhythm of my life.
Doc, as usual, is right....distraction is what helps when there is nothing we can do but cry....and speaking from a woman's point of view, it is a strong man who can allow himself to cry because so often society is hard on men that do cry but it is a basic human emotion that we ALL share, man or woman, so have yourself a good cry and you will feel better...I usually do. Honestly, when our pain and frustration get so great, what else can we do?
Coming here and venting is also a smart thing cuz folks here get it and there may be folks in your life who maybe are not as understanding and supportive.
We may all be sitting here in our recliners or beds talking to each other but even though many of us are living a very altered life, not something any of us ever would ever have dreamed of, we are at least here helping each other limp along.
I hope this pendulum swings back the other way for you very soon and you are back to visiting the people you love.
Be well, Diandra
