Hi! Yes, all too familiar. Nobody would ever choose this this way to live. I'm constantly "burning" at various sites of my body and it's just really beyond words at times. All the various situations that arise, so tough to deal with. People (spouse, relatives,friends) are judgemental and difficult. Everything seems uphill,out of reach, a day late, a dollar short, on and on. It's a good thing for you to vent here- it will keep you sane. No doubting here- we believe you can find relief by talking here.and discussing our problems. I found relief by not trying to always restore my life to the way it was; those days are over. Now, I work on what I can do now. I'm still finding my new "normal". It's hard but I'm not giving up! Hang in there and stick with your life- learn to do what you can do. Take care, sfink
