Remember your children come first. I have a grandson that I cannot play with like I would like to, so on bad days I get on the floor with him and he will get cars, horses, whatever he wants to play with and I sit there and play. He isn't old enough to understand that I hurt so bad so I just do the best I can. Getting back up from the floor is sometimes no fun, but it is time I get to spend with him. Talk to your doctor about the severity of the pain, there are meds. out there that you can take that are not going to zonk you out all the time. How old are your children? You are not alone and I have gone through trying to find a med. that works for me, and there are some things that we learn as we go on that we just cannot do anymore, mine is mopping floors, I really pay for that one, so I leave it for someone else. Just hang in there and another thing is write down how bad you feel so you can remember to tell the dr. Sometimes when we go in the pain is not as severe as the day before so just make notes. You can also see on here some of themeds. we have tried and how they work, but everyone is different and what works for me may not do anything for you. Oh, and by the way I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis which there is a blood test for, and was just recently told that my pain is more from fibro, than RA. |
