Them: So how are you feeling?
Me: Trying to decide whether or not to give the socially acceptable answer or the honest answer. #spoonie #chronicillness #chronicpain #painsucks

#ChronicPain #OccipitalNeuralgia #Fibromyalgia
So the nerve pain has connected between my neck and my eye which means the Occipital neuralgia episode is racing down the tracks. I've taken diazepam and tramadol to try and slow it down, I'm icing it and rubbing Fenbid gel into my neck, but I know it's at the stage where I can't stop it. I need one more day before the pain takes over - my son leaves for Uni tomorrow. #PainSucks

Talking to a friend about her disabling pain. She's gone through all the BS injections et.al., so I asked if they have not offered pain meds, since she's tried everything else.

Turns out she has bought into their BS that "If you just accept the pain, it won't be as bad." And that's how she's living her life. Suffering.

I'm on the verge of #DisablingPain today. I accept that. It won't make a diff when I have to cancel my clients because of it.
