It hurts into my soul.
Teeth-grinding, mind-numbing pain.
There is no escape.
Drugs only provide distance, not relief.
No sleep again tonight and every night.
Too tired to think or read. Or live.
Unable to work. Or play. Or dream of the future.
I can't even cry myself to sleep.
Even if I hadn't shed all the tears I have,
The meds dry me out so I have no tears anymore.
I stare out the window at the rain.
Maybe for just one minute I can have some peace.

It's a plesure to meet you and Welcome to the Chronic Pain Connection. I'm really happy that you've found us and Thank you for sharing your beautiful peaceful picture with us.
I'm sorry to hear that meds are not helping you with your pain. I after several years of trial & error have finally found a combination of meds that seem to be doing a much better job. Sure I still have FM flares that put me down in the depths of pain & fatigue, but for the most part, as long as I keep following my two doctors instructions, I seem to be doing much better and am much more comfortable than I used to be.
I've even been able to begin to reconnect with my husband this summer and that has been a wonderful gift in it self.
I hope things begin looking up for you and you find some relief
Gentle Hugs and prayers your way
Let me know if you'd like to talk more or if you need a friend to lean on
Take Care
Welcome

Hi.
I'm managing. I have figured out that weather changes absolutely do me in. The aftermath of the last two hurricanes hasn't been pleasant with all the rain.
Good luck with your life changes. Those are never fun. We've had 3 family emergencies related to health problems since July (none of which have been me).
