So tired of being in pain [View all]

I just need to whine.....I try not to make it a habit but right now I'm just weary from living in pain. 43 years of pain and I'm damn sick and tired of it.

I was diagnosed with fibrositis 35 years ago (after already being in pain for 8 years)....it is now known as fibromyalgia. Right now nothing is working for the pain and I just hurt all over. Add to that rods and screws in my back and a disintegrated vertebrae in my neck and well, you get the picture. Oh, let's not forget the cyst that popped up in my left sacroiliac joint.

This sucks.

Okay, that's my couple of minutes of whining that I allow myself every now and then. I don't know why I bother to whine as it doesn't make me feel better and it always makes me feel like a wimp.
