Pain is pretty intense today. I'm hesitant to give it a number, it could cause some to worry. Some days are better than others, taking it one day at a time.

Well according to this scale, I am at 10 today because I am in bed and can barely move or talk, but it’s really not that bad, more like a 7 and I’d call it moderate. All my muscles hurt, my neck and my throat, and I have a headache. Not crying yet. I want to sleep but can’t.

i.m sorry to hear that auri. I know pain can ruin everything in your life that day and can cause severe depression, as well as anger etc. please know that you aren't alone and please feel free to message me anytime I do understand. I hope your pain improves soon. mike *hug

I really have never had pain management issues so I'm not sure what your going through.. however I can say the the psychological merry-go-round that accompanies anything physical can be managed in a whole host of ways.. when the pain let's up a little that sigh of relief is like a drug.. I'd focus on those moments and truly be thankful for them
Gratitude is a great way to handle the ups and downs

I'm really sorry and kinda sad that you have to deal with all that but can i ask what the disorder is that causes your pain?

Thank you, Mike. Honestly mentally I'm not that bad, and the pain itself is not the worst ever, but it's everywhere. I guess I need to wait it out today. Hope you're ok, too.

Works during the day, doodles at night.
5 - Rant, pissed off with my dr this morning before celebrating dads birthday and had to go just because my aunt keep speculating my weight lost when I assume its fine.

Sure, dr’s can keep giving me test but how can you keep ticking me off with anxiety/stress related with new urination and weight lost issue. i just lost 10kg again total for two wks, i do eat btw which is why Im stubbornly agree that Im fine? and as embarrassing as it is, i keep losing weight from urinating a lot again. i thought i was better but this time urination is bit painful, i gotta admit. i had to use my mind to force it out to be relieve then feels dizzy afterwards.

i know i started realising it after my uncles funeral. I am in remission with 3/4 non chronic conditions, i do not have to face this again.

i'm really tired of fighting pain. I found a way to reduce it in the evening a couple of points, and it helps, but still leaves the rest of the day.

I'm really sorry Dodge. I hope you will feel better soon.
And I think lot of people here feel the same about you.
Hang on, Dodge!

I've been at an 8 today. On top of everything, one of my wisdom teeth started hurting again, the pain is excruciating :(

*hug ouchies!!! I hope the pain subsides soon. 8 is a high number, let's hope it comes down.
 

shattered dreams

My scars are healed, doesnt mean the pain is gone
On this scale, most of the time i'm in the 5 to 6 range, although on a bad day it easily hits up to an 8

it really pisses me off that most of us have pain that can be fixed, but our insurance won't pay for the appropriate treatment...
