Awful day, after a bad night. Lots of pain, pretty much everywhere, feeling very blue and fed up with it all. No one seems to care how I feel, family being careful but no one asking about it, like they just don't want to go there....crumbs I hate it all. Sitting still makes things burn and ache and hurt, but I can't move about for more than a few minutes before my knees and hips just hurt too much.

Why us, hey? Why not the bad people, the cruel people, the greedy people? Ah, the great unanswerable questions

Take care everyone, hope you're doing better than me today.

Bram.

Oh Bram darling, I/we care… so very much! I do know how you feel though. There was a time when I said to my husband; I know everyone else has just gotten use to my being in pain all the time, but that doesn’t mean that I have. It can seem like they just become oblivious, or apathetic. I’m so sorry hon.

I too have been in the dumps this week. I believe it is days and degrees of tolerance of all things CRPS. The pain can be so devastating. The why’s of it all can be maddening. Try, try, try to keep your thoughts from there. Ahhhh… oooommmmm… okay never mind. Chocolate, stat! Oh Bram, sure wish I could give you a gentle hug. Please know that I really do care, and you’re gonna make it through this! Hang on girl!

Thank you so much Vrae

I have chocolate and hazlenuts by me right now, absolutely essential today. My husband is here now and out doing things in the garden bless him. I know he just finds it hard to know what to do for the best when things are bad for me, but yes your saying about not being used to being in pain is right on the money... Poor chap just doesn't know what to do. I'd find it tricky myself. He's normally very good, bless.

Sorry you're feeling crappy too, hope things aren't too bad today. IHugs back to you too....they don't hurt lol...

Bram

What is going on here?? Seems like a lot of us are having an especially difficult time right now. Just when I think it can't get any worse, it does. I know I shouldn't think that because everything can always get worse...but seriously, like this pain is not bad enough?!?

Bram, so sorry you are having yet another rotten day! Vrae is right, we do care! We care a lot...and I wish I could give you a gentle hug too. I know what you mean too, my husband is great but there are so many times that he does not know what to do.

Vrae, sorry that you are having a rough time too! Gentle hugs to you as well

I hope our days start to improve VERY soon!

Thanks Nanc you lovely girl. You're all lovely so kind and caring and snuggly and warm....aww.

Yes it's weird isn't it? So many of us. I blame this succession of weather systems brewing round the States and then coming over here loaded with Atlantic water. Yikes. The barometer is going up and down like a frickin yo-yo. And the pain ramps up with every change... Wtf?!

My now lovely super supportive and snuggly husband (bless him, he does try hard) has just brought me in a big bag of Cadburys pebbles. Omg it's fatal. I have just had a glass of wine, and am now on a cup of tea and a chocolate overload Can you get drunk on chocolate? Maybe I'll find out.

I still feel crappy, but I'm smiling a bit because you care and it means the world. Thank you thank you.

Hope you guys are doing ok this evening too, let's all hang in there together shall we lol?

Bram

Have your lovely husband fire up a toasty fire to warm you!

My thoughts are with you..You never get used to this pain 24 hours 7 days a week..hang strong..God Bless

Moosey I'm so sorry you're having a bad time too....so many of us struggling at the moment

Take care of yourself, and thank you for your kind thoughts. Everyone is so supportive...it's immensely kind and always lofts my spirits a bit

Bram
