Hi Ada,
Its good to know that Im not the only one that isnt "normal". lol lol Its good to be not normal, if you know what I mean.
I had my gall bladder out years ago also, all I know is that the ribs hurt & they arent getting any better. Its been over 2 months since they first started to hurt.
It helps that the rain has stopped---atleast for now. That definitely doesnt help the pain---as you well know. They said on the news last night ( I think) that out of the last 200 & some odd days that it has rained every other day & that there was only 5 days that we've not had any rain at all. YUCK!!! This is supposed to be the "driest" month for us, sure hope that it drys soon.
I hope that I get a good doctor soon too. I talked to my nurse case manager yesterday on the phone & told her that Carrie is trying to get me into her pain clinic, but I also gave her a name of another doctor that I found on the internet. Just as a "backup" & she said that she tried calling the doc but they are closed until monday.
I dont know if anything would get across to them how bad I hurt on a daily basis. Ive printed out different things that Ive found about pain & it doesnt register to them at all.
I truly thought that me telling them---not that they havent seen me this way for over 2 years that Ive not been able to do anything, that it would get through their heads that when I said that I wanted to get the mail that it would work. I mean who see you going to it & still gets your mail. He (b-i-l) said the other day that because it was "cold" that he didnt think that I wanted to go down there. Its like they are the "inspectors" of what we get. They even went as far as telling the "ups" drivers to deliver our packages to them---but I took care of that today. Im really trying to not to be difficult about the whole thing but it gets to a point that enough is enough. I really dont understand why they feel the need to see everything that we get. Maybe one day they will surprise me & leave the mail for us to get. Sure do hope so anyway.
Are you having warm weather? Like I said hubby has a fire going---its down right chilly here. BRRRRR!!!!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Janet

As far as the ribs, I have pain in my right rib area. I have been told it was RSD and scar tissue from having my gall bladder removed and from having shingles years ago.
I don't think anyone gets the gist of how much pain we are in. I was just telling Diana that. I don't think the pain we deal with is explainable to the extent we need it to be somehow. If that makes any sense.
I hope that you start feeling better and that you get to see a good Dr. here soon to help you through this. It's sure not something we can seem to get through with Advil like your family is thinking.
Maybe you could let them read some of what we all write on here and it might help them understand.
