I know there's no magical answer but I just need to get my thoughts out. Sorry. I'm terminally ill. I'm 38 with an amazing DH, one adult daughter and one nearly adult daughter (19 and 17). I've just spent three weeks in hospital getting blood transfusions and iron infusions and currently I head to the emergency day procedure every three days for more. I have scope tests amd another procedure next Sunday. I'm in agonising pain, even with the highest dose morphine. I can do nothing for myself. I can't stop crying. I know there's people in far worse positions than me but I'm just struggling so badly at the moment. I know this thread is completely pointless to everyone reading it, but I just needed to vent, sorry

It was great to see your post. I wish things could be better for you pain wise. You sound like such a lovely caring person. I hope you're getting some better pain treatment at least. Thinking of you and your family xxx

Underthesea65 · 09/04/2024 19:37

Thank you all so so much for your lovely messages. I'm really struggling if I'm honest but trying to stay upbeat. I'm in absolute agony, nothing seems to be touching it. But honestly, seeing so many lovely, caring people leaving me messages of love and support is really helping. And I really hope you are all doing well xx

I was just about to message you hen, have you been given any good pain relief? Is there any way your care team can give you a boost of something to help?
I'm so gutted for you x

Don't be afraid to ask for sedation /anti anxiety medication if it's all getting to much. Thinking of you x

You are not remotely pathetic. You are so brave and so strong. I'm glad you are with your family, I hope that gives you some slight comfort when it's all too much. Hope the doctor is helpful as well. Sending lots of love

@Underthesea65 I'm glad you're getting loads of sleep, it's definitely one of the few ways to combat pain and discomfort.

Have you been able to watch much on YouTube or Netflix? I'm not able to concentrate on much when I'm in pain but I quite like listening to people talk in the back ground.

@Teasie123 how are you doing hen?

Sending you all a big love ladies x

Run4it2 · 13/04/2024 22:31

Thinking of you - demand drugs with menaces!
