Downhill again...

I know by now I should expect this, but it still makes me crazy when I go through a flare!  I know I'm not the only one that feels this way.  I just gotta get this outta my system!  Every time I think I may be starting to feel better, BAM!  I feel like I have more meds than a pharmacy!  Most of the time, the pain meds don't work.  I feel like I either have to be in pain all day, or be loopy all day.  I have two kids.  I don't really like either choice.  I have been told that I have a high tolerance for pain.  That means that even some of the strongest pain pills aren't gonna work for me.  I feel like I'm a 36 year old woman stuck in a 109 year olds body.  (Don't ask why the 109, it's just the number I've always come up with)  Anyone have any ideas for pain meds or alternate ways to control it.

As your older sister - age 114 ... I wish I had the answer.

I do know how you feel and all I can offer is someone out here that knows what you are going through. I've spent the entire weekend walking around like I was in a complete fog. I was so drugged up. Every time the drugs started to come down ...the pain would intensify. I'm 41 (hence the additional 5 years to your 109) and I'm sick to death of this. It's very hard not to get deppressed. But we can't. We have kids to keep going for. One way or another ...a good day will come back to us and we'll be glad we made it through. Vent here and maybe, just maybe a break through will come for us and give us the right cure we have all been looking for.

Take care of yourself. Your not alone but I stand by your side with your frustration.

((Hugs))
