I really wanted to post on a regular basis. I really suck at this sort of thing. I had thought that maybe I could post at least every other day. Then I thought, I should be realistic and aim for once a week. But life keeps happening to me, and not always in a good way.

Turns out I am suffering from fibroid tumors in my uterus, as well as an ( Read more... )

oh wow... that sucks. Can you maybe try a different doctor? My mom had a doctor that for years told her she was full of shit about some of her pain. She finally went to a different doctor and wala, there's a real problem and if they had fixed it 20 years ago her life would be a lot different.

Other than that, good luck with everything and keep us posted. I'm sorry to hear about your health problems but at least it sounds like you might be on the right track at least somewhat.

the problem, is that he is a workmans comp doc. So (i'm dealing with 2 different doctors), and it is very hard to find a doctor to treat you for pain management, you're treated like a drug seeker just by the receptionists. I spent a few weeks a few years ago looking for a different doctor and gave up. Thankfully, the gynecologist is now moving forwad on my innards, so I'm hoping that things will get better. When I get all that out, and hopefull get better control over the medications prescribed to me, maybe I'll feel more like my old self, cause I sure have changed. It sucks always being sick, and always having pain, and trying to live your life anyway. But that's what we all have to do. Do the best we can with what we have. I think I sunk in a pool of bad meds (and bad metaphors) - but am looking forward to climbing back out ( ... )

ahh, workmans comp is evil... I'm sorry. And yeah, I can understand about pain management being hard to find. Shitty but, too many people have abused the system so good people have to suffer.

I'm glad there are things that give you joy in your life. That does make it easier.
