Hello I am wondering just how many other people wake every morning with their first feeling of the day is pain? Me I am one. I have several things that only cause chronic pain and fatigue. I have no energy. I feel alone.....I feel sad about most of the time. I want to feel like I use to feel before all this started.

    Sherri,

    i'm sorry that you are feeling so unwell. Pain can cause negative feelings being that there isn't anything positive about it. It can also cause fatigue and a general unwell feeling. If you can get your pain under control or at least the cause of it this may help you to feel better.I used to go through chronic pain but I now only go through it occasionally. I hope that you can find some help in sorting this out. I'd be happy to share some of the ways that helped me. There might be others that will offer some good advice to help you as well.

    Take Care

      hi Sherri,

      I'd be happy to.  

      Hot baths with epson salt

      Resting not overusing t

      yoga and walking 

      vitamins(B, C, D and a multi)

      I can not tolerate anti inflammatories so they are out.

      Also certain foods have an anti inflammatory benifit in them. Again these may or may not be helpful but carpal tunnel takes time, wrist braces work well in some circumstances others it doesn't help. As for the back etc. you may need to see a specialist if you haven't already. try to make sure to drink lot's of fluids to make up for what you are losing from hot flashes. This could be one of the reasons you are feeling down. I hope you find some relief...

      Take Care,

      Penny

      Hello there Penny it's very nice to meet you for one.I have surgery on both hand's in 2000 but I worked with carpel tunel for nine years had no INS and was a,single Mother at the time so surgery when really it may have helped I couldn't afford the money or time off. I have seen several Dr's about my back they want to operate but it's not good % to me to risk of not helping and taken even more meds....kinda 2ant 5o avoid that route

      Sorry...kinda want to avoid that at this time. I really love the idea and tips that you have given me. If you never experienced chronic pain people have no idea how it takes all consuming you and your day and family it's not fair for them so I need just these things like you said to try. I am low on b12 and have to give to myself and I don't like to do it nor does my family. Really appreciate your words of wisdom. Thank you

    You don't say why you have pain, or where it is...but please have hope, Sherrie!  

    My son used to start every day like this...he was only 4 years old he would sleep a lot, wake up tired, have very little energy and lots of pain - seemingly everywhere.  He would get really upset, sad, angry...He was six before we found out he had Coeliac Disease.  He's a happy, healthy boy again!  (Mostly...hahaha)

    My hip pain made me not want to get out of bed - it was a struggle every single morning. I was in my early-mid 40s and felt OLD.  We bought a new mattress and no more hip pain!

    I think you get the idea - depending on where the pain is, there is probably a cure. You just need to pinpoint the reason.  You're understandably depressed if you have chronic pain...or that could also be a symptom of the underlying cause.

    Please see a doctor and take care!

      I really didn't want to list them but here goes...I wish I never found out.one bi-lateral irreversible chronic carpel tunel both arms#hand, cervical chronic congenital spinal stenosis and fibromiligia, disc degenerative disease lumber and bulging disc in thoracic part of spine. It's a long list...and Menopause on top to boot with full blown hot flashes 24/7. I am so glad to hear that your son is doing so good!!

      Oh I so go every month. Always the same thing. Just meds I wish I knew if some kind of therapy for all of this. Exercise helps dome but can't every day because of the fibromiligia when it flares it's ugly head it's the couch or bed.

    It ceratinly sounds like you have been through alot. I wish I could be more helpful.But I haven't experienced the extent of what you have so hopefully there is something else that will be more suitable for your needs.

    all the best,

    Penny

      Hey Penny I took your advice and got some Epsom salt and soak in a hot bath of it and I slept really good last night. Thank you for your advice and wishes to me I really appreciate your help. I hope that you have a great weekend ☺.
