Chronic migraines interstitial cystitis neuropathy fibromyalgia arthritis

It seems there isn't an area of my body not tormented with pain. Everyday head neck shoulders upper back lower back/ kidney area, bladder. Bad days add hips knees fingertips to elbows, toes to calves. Not a whole lot left out. Add agoraphobia ( genetic) induced from 4 yrs trapped inside in a dark room. Not one of my illnesses is life threatening, well I suppose I could have an aneurysm.. But let's get real. Any 1 of these things ALONE I could cope easy. I'm the lady who had all 3 boys naturally no drugs except some topical lidocaine when they stitched me up. Who pops her own knee back in place w/o any yelling when it dislocates. I was tough. Now I'm 36, no longer the dancers long lean body and severely proud posture and poise. Just a woman gaining weight in the midsection with a husband who tends to wonder out loud what happened to the woman he married. So, the question.. All my conditions are chronic, uncurable, mostly unresponsive to treatment...so besides anti depressants, therapy, meditation,breathing techniques, benzodiazepines, opioids, prayer, when all these things are tried and failed and your just left with yourself what do you do to make it bearable or maybe a little better? When you wake up and tears come to your eyes because of the never relenting pain and NO ONE except people you pay wants to hear a word about it, what do you do, really? How many of you relate do any of you have an answer?

I have all the fore mentioned items you stated and I just get more meds and no help with a cure or to slow or to stop all the discomfort! I get to my wits end at times and can not stand it, but I search in my soul to find internal comfort! I am the only one that knows what it feels like but you are on same page.
