I have lived with chronic intractable pain for over 13 years. I have had 5 surgeries on my back; cervical fusion, lumbar laminectomy (failed), two neurostimulators, lumbar fusion (only one month ago, too early to tell
). I no longer worry what "normals" think. I know my pain is real and is with me until that miracle cure is found for the numerous spinal disorders I have.
I want to share hope, information, tears and laughter.
sorry annie you hurt so much, i do also.
i wish i could tell you something to help.
i cant let anymore docs operate on me any more as i will not survive it. so i tryto live with it as best i can. luckily for me i was not in the prime of my life, so i got to enjoy most of my younger years.
hope you feel better somehow...

Yes, it certainly is nice to have some friends to talk, share with and just tell about the difficulties of this very real and very exhausting pain full life we lead.
I think you must of figured out how to add ourselves to one anothers list, pages or join.
On our home pages (where it takes you when you click profile) you can scoll down just a little under our first basic info and it says somehting like. Subscribe to her post or something like that, and then I believe, that we will both get an e-mail alert when either of us create a sharepost. I've not created all that many, been trying to get all the post this month responded to, so maybe I can now start creating more.
Very nice to know you, I'll have to place a picture of my kids (doggies) on my pages too.
I gotta go lay down and try to rest for the rest of the evening. I have a turkey to get in the oven in the am, and feeling a little anxiety about it.
Happy Thanks Giving
Talk to you soon
Betty
