too much pain today

ok deep breath's ,i know u probably think what the hell is he on about now but ,try to make this a learning period for yourself ,i mean there must be some book u always wanted to read ,a big jigsaw to drive u mad ,did u ever watch scrubs ,did u see the eposide where they use the wheelchair as a bowling ball lol ,not saying u should do that ,unless u want to break down the bedroom door ,i was laid up with my leg for weeks last year ,i swear i nearly went nuts ,i mean we forget thing's easily like walkin and moving about ,i think u are forunuate to have a good husband to help u in that way ,i know easier said than done but try to make things less stressful for yourself ,it's not worth the frustration ,there will be good days again ,,yes some of us in here are blessed with medical issues that wreck havoc on our daily lives ,but that does not mean we have to let them beat us to the ground ........................stay strong

Hi Shar...I am so sorry for what you are having to endure and it must be overwhelming honey!  Is there any way that you could get someone in to help out a little at least with the light housework...maybe a few loads of laundry or something?  Do you belong to a church or any group such as that?  They might have someone that can help you a little.  There is no shame in asking for help and I know that I would feel badly for my hubby if he had to take up where I left off after his 12 hour shift.  Why don't you either speak to your doctor about it and see if he can offer any suggestions or if not, call your local red cross society and see if they can suggest something.  I wish I lived closer and could offer you the help myself honey...however I can't and no one is going to see through the walls of your house to see how you are struggling...you are going to have to reach out on your own and ask ok?  This is about all I have to offer at this point because you do NEED HELP!  You are not superwoman despite what your husband tells you daily (tee hee) and you are going to have to admit that you need a helping hand.  Give them a call honey...it certainly won't hurt to try and I am sure that if the places I mentioned can't help...they certainly can give you the names of organizations that can ok?  Please stay in touch honey and take care...I am thinking of you.

Lots and lots of gentle hugs,

Rena

I hate what you are going through! I am living with Fibro and have dropped into a depression I can't seem to crawl out of. My husband tries to understand, but I think that he is falling into a depression which I didn't think could ever happen to him. He is the smiling, happy guy that doesn't care if it is cold and rainy, and seems to always have a great outlook on life. It makes me more depressed and feelings of guilt that I am bringing him down. I can't imagine what this all is doing to my 13 year old son! I feel like such a burdon! Oh, and don't forget all the meds we have to take daily! You would think I would feel on top of the world with all the pills I take, but it just doesn't seem to be enough.
