How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[TragicReality]

i am a ha

most doctors are extremely careful of how much pain meds they allow if at all. my doctor moved all of his pain patients for pain to a pain clinic. for me this was a nightmare and he finally agreed to prescribe the opioid pain meds. i am only getting around 25% of what i used to get and of course have to augment with other things. there are alternatives to help with the pain meds

I'm sorry you don't get enough to help either @1964dodge
she did say pain clinic, but it's not really. Injections, I'm thinking like how my sister started for her pain many years ago, she'd have needles in her knee. Cortisone, i dont know what it's called anymore for sure. I told her how much over the counter meds I'm using.

She just said ''well you cant have that.'' well yes I can, if you aren't going to up my dose for how I feel what do you want me to do.? She sounded exasperated, and said I'll send you to (a place a good 2 hours drive away) for injections. I said I'll try it. And after she finds my mri she'll give me naproxen and something to coat my stomach.

Unfortunately I know the med she's talking about, it's aleve, it's also over the counter here and something I've already used. I said I've had indomythicin before, she won't do that.

She isn't my primary doctor. She said ''well what are you doing here then?'' I said it's pain and sore throat, what do you expect from me to do? I give up about it. I take the over the counter stuff with it. They really don't care.

They'd rather have safe sites for heroin oror whatever those drugs are in Canada, or tell you sign up for euthansia, like legally commit suicide, it's sad.... there's been ads up even though I don't watch tv I've seen it on youtube. The world has gone nuts. Instead of help, they'd rather you give up. Sorry it's a depressing post. One thing I felt good about was my vacation, and I had my sister ''stop'' by at a coffee shop tonight. As soon as I'm telling her the fun stuff... i realize I don't need to be heard, she get's up and ''well we have to get going''... yup, someone who never understood me and I don't expect it to change. I've been thinking about writing a book, but everyone has been through a lot in life, my story is no different really. I'm feeling down when I want to be happier. I'm sorry I'm not contributing to helping anyone here... I just don't have it in me.

Relieved. I got an email yesterday telling me all about the gig I was going to this Saturday. I knew I'd bought the gig ticket, but I thought it was in June and at a different venue, and it wasn't in my diary, so it was news to me. I was not prepared for a gig on Saturday and it happened to be at a venue I really hate (had a miserable time the last time I went there, stuck near the bar at the back surrounded by drunken rampagers). I have no idea why I bought the ticket apart from misreading the venue! I was going to either force myself to go, or just not go. Then I saw the ticket vendor has a fan to fan resale system, so you can make your tickets available to people who are on a waiting list. So I popped it on this afternoon, and just got an email saying it had sold. So I basically get my money back, and someone who really wants to go, gets to go! Win win! I can enjoy my Saturday on the sofa 😂😂😂

my wife gets those shots in her knee and one time it didn't hurt at all the other was a bit painful but it does help her.

@toomuchreality So sorry you are going through so much. Our world truly has gone crazy. You mention wanting a pain med from a doctor and they look at you like you are nuts. Its like they would prefer it if you would buy something on the street. Something that could kill you. Even keeping a roof over your head is becoming impossible in US of A. Unless you are an addict. Then they will try and give you something for free. But there is not enough shelters even for that. The world just has totally screwed up priorities. And people are at the bottom of the list. Sorry I cannot cheer you up. But I do hope things improve for you.

I was just sitting here feeling lonely, but at the same time wishing no one else was around so I was alone. Makes no sense what I'm feeling, but I was also feeling some hate towards myself. I'm sorry.

At least you get it with how the world is, thanks. Only I can figure out how to cheer myself up. But yeah big pharma, whatever you want to call it is out for a buck, not to help. Here's a pill, here's another pill for diabetes, but pain, oh no, you can't have anything that helps for that. Makes no sense really.

Self hate is so common. I go through phases of it. You have no reason to hate yourself my friend. My mind just won't shut off.

Then there is the whole question of even getting a doctor's appointment. Especially if you need a specialist. There just aren't enough to go around.

Listening to music and trying to relax after hours of onboarding for my new job. I tried to do it on my phone, then friend suggested it may work better from laptop, which it did. What a pain in the ass that is, doing all that. But it's mostly done.

Today was pretty good. I still feel depressed for some reason. Like there's a void I need to fill. Weird.

 

[Survivorist]

Pretty good today - 70 days fasting finished, 50 to go, no smoking, no alcohol and lots of sports. Only some days with deep depressions.

i don't have ocd but from what i understand it can cause a lot of mental health isues so i'm not surprised that you are anxious and tense. try to work with your doctor or therapist if you have one. maybe with a little help you can recognize the triggers. try to be pleasant to people even the bad people. remember a smle can always help. but no matter how much you try you will find people so bad you can't help but hating them. these awful people deserve your hate but the hate will destroy you from within. try to change your hate to pity for them, they will never be truly happy

you should never be sorry for anything you post here. i know it's easy to hate ourself but hurts us in the long run. i wish you could see yourself through my eyes and other peoples eyes around here. you would see a wonderful person that wants to help people even if you are hurting yourself and your great soul that shines through all of you at once

since the cdc corrected their mistake things are slowly improving, but at the rate it's changing it will be decades before it's fixed. the dea is still going after doctors that prescribe over 100 mme. so doctors are afraid of losing their license and possibly going to jail.

i agree with some things like mandatory drug testing and data collection to prevent addicts from illegally getting opioid meds. yes we need contol but we also need to go back to letting your doctor prescribe what is neccessary, and keep investigating obvious pill mills. so yes the pendulum has swung to far the other way and people like us are left struggling

not so good. my wife finally came home today after being gone for a week visiting my daughter and her hubby. i have been exhausted really bad and very high pain levels since i got up yesterday. and of course my mood kind of sucks which has caused me ro visit the dark side. bad news is i'm doing very poorly but the good news i know i'll eventually bounce back. my doctors nurse is coming tuesday and i hope i can hide everything because it wouldn't be good for me if i told the whole truth lol

it is easy to hate myself for a lot of things in life, things I've done or said that no one knows but me. I appreciate what you said... I do wish I could help people. Thank you lots of hugs to you and everyone here that needs it
