Anyone else with a chronic illness having a bad day

[Saladcrab]

I’ve got endometriosis I’m in so much pain I’m about to have a bath and hope my morphine kicks in so I can get some sleep before work tomorrow

Was sick 15 minutes after the morphine still In pain basically just vomited it all out

So sorry you’re in so much pain

How dreadful. I hope you have backup pain relief

Sorry to hear you're struggling I'm covered in burning hives and my joints are aching as a result of my HUV. Off to bed to see what tomorrow brings as clothes are annoying me now!

Motor neuropathy. My legs have been incredibly weak today and I've struggled to get around with my walking frame. Didn't even attempt to make food and just ordered chicken strips from Mac Donald's. It feels like someone with screws for fingernails is giving me Chinese burns on my ankles and feet.

I've had a big glass of wine, codeine, amitryptaline and CBD oil in the hope that I might get some sleep tonight!

I really hope you feel better tomorrow OP

ME and chronic migraines, definitely having a bad day here 😒

Oh I literally feel your pain, the endometriosis, the morphine sickness. Hope you manage to get some sleep and the flare doesn't last too long. It's when the bladder joins the party that's the worse.

I hope you've got a good medical team around you and some plans in place to manage or remove the pain.

Oh I’m sorry. I hope you feel better soon.
I’ve had a really bad day with my energy levels today. I haven’t felt this bad for a while. I had to spend most of the day in bed, just completely exhausted. I don’t know what triggered it.
I hope tomorrow will be a better day for all of us.

@Saladcrab I also suffer with endometriosis. It sucks. My tens machine helps with the pain and I have invested in a bath pillow because literally sometimes the only place I can get any kind of relief is in a hot bath and that’s where I will sleep. I’ve also bought a heated pad that helps a bit but not much

I’m waiting on a second lap and I am praying this eases it again for a while because I can’t live off Tramadol and dihydrocodeine and diazepam just to manage the pain when it’s at its worst.

I hope you manage to get some rest and hopefully this flare up won’t last too long.

Heart condition, perimenopausal, exhausted and a headache right now, feel like life is like wading uphill through treacle.

@Saladcrab there is a really lovely and supportive thread here is you would like to join? I'm finding it very helpful talking to people who understand

Thanks I have codine but I can’t take any for another 2 hours

Thank you I’m hoping it all gets better tonight as last time I passed out and rang 111 after they insisted an ambulance take me to a and e as I was alone

Sending you lots of sympathy @Saladcrab and hope things improve for you slightly. I have ME and have felt nauseous and dizzy most of today although it definitely hasn't been anywhere near one of my worst days.

Me too. I have EDS Chiari Scoliosis and back disc issues. I’m having a bad day, actually I’ve been having a bad couple of weeks. Sorry to hear your having a bad time, I’ve got everything crossed tomorrow is a better day for you and everyone else struggling at the moment

Thank you tomorrow will be better I hope lucky I have my hot water bottle and air con on best thing I ever brought

Fibromyalgia it's shit having a chronic condition that almost nobody believes actually exists. I have endometriosis too but I won't ask my gp for help as he thinks I'm a fat drug addict, I'm prescribed 3 tramadol and 3 cocodamol a day I hope you have a peaceful and low pain night

Sending you all lots of hugs

💐for everyone, it’s shit isn’t it. I have EDS and arthritis. Barely been able to walk today and the pain has had me in tears. Oramorph and Tramadol not touching it!

Currently binge eating salted peanuts and chocolate in bed 😅

Diabetes and hypothyroidism. I managed to fall over, cut my leg, bash my knee and hit my head (twice) today. I already take so many tablets so it really helps that Boots do a soluble Cocodamol.

Feeling awful in so much pain can’t face work but I need to I need this job pluss no one else can cover so we would have to shut

Bipolar and fibromyalgia. Planning to be dead by the end of the day. Can't take it anymore.

Sorry to hear you are all struggling
@Arabellastrange please do reach out for help and support. Today and indeed tomorrow may be difficult days but there are better ones just around the corner

Second the you are very welcome in the chronic pain topics and daily chat thread. It helps to say how are you without having put on brave face or explain things.

Anyone can deal with pain for short time
It when it’s months and years it’s a new ball game altjogther!
